Bridging in a Frame Relay Network with Multicasts

The multicast facility is used to learn about the other bridges on the network, eliminating the need for

the frame-relay map commands.

Following are the configuration commands for each of the bridges in a network that supports a multicast

facility:

Configuration for Bridge 1
interface ethernet 2
bridge-group 5
ip address 128.88.11.9 255.255.255.0
!
interface serial 0
encapsulation frame-relay
bridge-group 5
!
bridge 5 protocol ieee
Configuration for Bridge 2

Transparent Bridging over Multiprotocol LAPB Example

The following example illustrates a router configured for transparent bridging over multiprotocol LAPB

encapsulation:

interface ethernet 1
no ip address
no mop enabled
bridge-group 1
!
interface serial 0
no ip address
