Cisco IOS Bridging and IBM Networking Configuration Guide

However, the following configuration might work initially but will eventually fail. The failure occurs

because the configuration does not allow for an ARP broadcast with a destination address of

FFFF.FFFF.FFFF, even though the destination address on the output interface is correct:

access-list 700 permit 0260.8c34.0864 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 deny 0000.0000.0000 FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
interface ethernet 0
bridge-group 1 output-address-list 700

The correct access list would be as follows:

access-list 700 permit 0260.8c34.0864 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 permit FFFF.FFFF.FFFF 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 deny 0000.0000.0000 FFFF.FFFF.FFFF
interface ethernet 0
bridge-group 1 output-address-list 700
X.25 Transparent Bridging Example

Figure 19 is an example configuration illustrating three bridges connected to each other through an X.25

network.
