Configuring Transparent Bridging

Transparent and SRT Bridging Configuration Task List

To specify deny or permit conditions for LAT groups on input, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

bridge-group bridge-group

Specifies the group codes with which to deny access upon input.

input-lat-service-deny group-list

 

 

 

bridge-group bridge-group

Specifies the group codes with which to permit access upon input.

input-lat-service-permit group-list

 

 

 

If a message specifies group codes in both the deny and permit list, the message is not bridged.

Specifying Deny or Permit Conditions for LAT Group Codes on Output

You can specify the group codes by which to deny or permit access upon output. Specifying deny conditions causes the system to not bridge onto the output interface any LAT service advertisements that contain any of the specified groups. Specifying permit conditions causes the system to bridge onto the output interface only those service advertisements that match at least one group in the specified group list.

To specify deny or permit conditions for LAT groups on output, use one of the following commands in interface configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

bridge-group bridge-group

Specifies the group codes with which to deny access upon output.

output-lat-service-deny group-list

 

 

 

bridge-group bridge-group

Specifies the group codes with which to permit access upon output.

output-lat-service-permit group-list

 

 

 

If a message matches both a deny and a permit condition, it will not be bridged.

Adjusting Spanning-Tree Parameters

You might need to adjust certain spanning-tree parameters if the default values are not suitable for your bridge configuration. Parameters affecting the entire spanning tree are configured with variations of the bridge global configuration command. Interface-specific parameters are configured with variations of the bridge-groupinterface configuration command.

You can adjust spanning-tree parameters by performing any of the tasks in the following sections:

Setting the Bridge Priority

BC-23 specifications

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in the networking industry, and its BC-23 model exemplifies the company's commitment to innovation and performance. Aimed at enhancing business operations, the BC-23 is tailored for organizations looking for robust solutions that support their digital transformation efforts.

One of the standout features of the Cisco BC-23 is its advanced networking capabilities. It supports high-speed data transmission, enabling seamless communication across networks. With multi-gigabit Ethernet ports, the BC-23 facilitates faster data rates, accommodating the increasing bandwidth demands of modern applications. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely heavily on cloud services, video conferencing, and data-heavy applications.

Security is a top priority, and the Cisco BC-23 incorporates cutting-edge security measures. Integrated threat detection and prevention systems help safeguard sensitive data from cyber threats. Additionally, the device supports secure access protocols, ensuring that only authorized users can connect to the network. This multi-layered security approach not only protects the network infrastructure but also secures the integrity of the data being transmitted.

Another significant characteristic of the BC-23 is its support for software-defined networking (SDN). This technology allows businesses to manage their networks through centralized software applications, facilitating real-time adjustments and optimizations. The flexibility afforded by SDN is especially advantageous in dynamic environments where network demands can shift rapidly.

The Cisco BC-23 also offers enhanced management features, allowing IT teams to monitor network performance and analytics effectively. This visibility into network operations enables organizations to identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtime and keeping business processes smooth.

Furthermore, the BC-23 is designed for scalability. As organizations grow, their networking needs evolve, and the BC-23 can easily adapt to these changes. Businesses can add additional devices and capabilities without the need for a complete overhaul of their existing infrastructure.

With its combination of speed, security, and scalability, the Cisco Systems BC-23 is an invaluable asset for modern businesses. It stands out not just as a networking device but as a comprehensive solution that meets the demands of today's fast-paced, technology-driven environment. As companies continue to leverage digital tools for growth and efficiency, the BC-23 will undoubtedly play a significant role in their success.
