Frame Relay Transparent Bridging Examples

Figure 20 illustrates three bridges connected to each other through a Frame Relay network.

Figure 20 Frame Relay Bridging Example

Bridging in a Frame Relay Network with No Multicasts

The Frame Relay bridging software uses the same spanning-tree algorithm as the other bridging

functions, but allows packets to be encapsulated for transmission across a Frame Relay network. The

command specifies IP-to-DLCI address mapping and maintains a table of both the Ethernet and DLCIs.

Following are the configuration commands for each of the bridges in a network that does not support a

multicast facility:

Configuration for Bridge 1
