Configuring Interfaces and Circuits

This chapter describes how to configure the CSS interfaces and circuits and how to bridge interfaces to Virtual LANs (VLANs). Information in this chapter applies to all CSS models, except where noted.

This chapter contains the following major sections:

Interface and Circuit Overview

The CSS provides Ethernet interfaces (ports) that enable you to connect servers, PCs, routers, and other devices to the CSS.

Using the bridge command, you assign the Ethernet interfaces to a specific VLAN. Each VLAN circuit requires an IP address. Assigning an IP address to each VLAN circuit allows the CSS to route Ethernet interfaces from VLAN to VLAN.
