SIMPLE REMOTE BRIDGING NETWORK

Bridging and Routing Information

LINE TYPE = BR_ISDN

1)POINT_TO_POINT

2)POINT_MULTIPOINT

Select Option [default = POINT_TO_POINT] or press <RET> for previous menu: 1

The next item that you need to configure is the Data Link for the line. Depending on the switch type, there may be more than one Data Link per line. In our example, we use one Data Link with Automatic TEI Negotiation:

Current DATA LINK Configuration for this line:

id TEI

-- ----

There are currently no Data Links configured for this line.

Enter (1) to Add or press <RET> for previous menu: 1

Automatic TEI Negotiation (Y or N) [default = Y]? Y

Current Data Link Configuration for this line:

id TEI

------

1 AUTO

(1) Add, (2) Change, (3) Delete a DATA LINK or press <RET> for previous menu? <RET>

After entering the above information, press <return> to display the line menu.Press <return> twice to return to the Main Menu.

CONFIGURING THE OPTIONS

The default configuration for the CyberSWITCH is bridging disabled and IP routing enabled. For reasons we provide below, we want both bridging and IP routing enabled. Under the Option Menu, select the bridging option and follow the instructions to enable bridging.

This network is a bridged network, but we are going to configure an IP option (the IP host operating mode) so that we may use an IP application (such as Telnet, TFTP, or SNMP) to manage the CyberSWITCH. Refer to the graphic below for clarification.
