Configuring Transparent Bridging

Transparent and SRT Bridging Configuration Examples

Routing between VLANs Configuration Example

The following example shows the configuration for the topology shown in Figure 10. IP traffic is routed to and from switched VLAN domains 300, 400, and 600 to any other IP routing interface, as is IPX for VLANs 500 and 600. Because Fast Ethernet interfaces 2/1.20 and 3/1.40 are combined in bridge group 50, all other nonrouted traffic is bridged between these two subinterfaces.

Ethernet-to-FDDI Transparent Bridging Example

The following configuration example shows the configuration commands that enable transparent bridging between Ethernet and FDDI interfaces. Transparent bridging on an FDDI interface is allowed only on the CSC-C2FCIT interface card.
