Chapter 24 Configuring ATM Router Module Interfaces

Configuring Bridging

Configuring Bridging

All PVCs configured on ATM router module interfaces are used for bridging.

To configure bridging on an ATM router module interface, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Switch(config)# interface atm card/subcard/port

Specifies the interface on the ATM router module

 

Switch(config-if)#

to configure.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2 Switch(config-if)#atm pvc 2 vci interface atm

Configures a PVC.

 

card/subcard/port vpi

Note The VPI number on the ATM router

 

 

 

 

module interface must be 2.

Step 3

 

 

Switch(config-if)# bridge-groupnumber

Assigns the interface to a bridge group.

Step 4

 

 

Switch(config-if)# end

Returns to global configuration mode.

 

Switch(config)#

 

Step 5

 

 

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet

Specifies the Fast Ethernet interface to configure.

 

card/subcard/port

 

 

Switch(config-if)#

 

Step 6

 

 

Switch(config-if)# no cdp enable

Disables Cisco Discovery Protocol on the

 

 

interface.

Step 7

 

 

Switch(config-if)# bridge-groupnumber

Assigns the interface to a bridge group.

Step 8

 

 

Switch(config-if)# end

Returns to global configuration mode.

 

Switch(config)#

 

Step 9

 

 

Switch(config)# bridge number protocol ieee

Specifies the IEEE 802.1D Spanning-Tree

 

 

Protocol for the bridge group.

 

 

 

Example

The following example shows how to configure bridging on a Catalyst 8540 MSR with a Fast Ethernet interface module in slot 0, an ATM interface module in slot 1, and an ATM router module in slot 3.

Figure 24-8shows an example bridging network.
