Configuration of Transparent Bridging for PA-12E/2FE Port Adapter Example

Following is an example of a configuration for the PA-12E/2FE port adapter interface. Bridge groups 10,

20, and 30 use IEEE Spanning-Tree Protocol. The first four interfaces of a PA-12E/2EF port adapter in

port adapter slot 3 use bridge groups 10 and 20. Each interface is assigned to a bridge group and the

shutdown state is set to up. The PA-12E/2FE port adapter supports store-and-forward or cut-through

switching technology between interfaces within the same bridge group; store-and-forward is the default.

In the following example, the cut-through command is used to configure each interface for cut-through

switching of received and transmitted data.
