Bridge Configura- tion Menu

Configuring the IAD as a bridge involves several tasks. These are all displayed and accessed on the Bridge Configuration menu (displayed by typing 3 on the Main menu). Each task in this chapter is described beginning at the Bridge Configuration menu.

You may sign on as Supervisor or Network Manager to configure the IAD as a bridge. Options that display in the Bridge Configuration menu are the same for both security levels.

NOTE Be sure to reset the IAD when you are done making changes to bridge configuration. Resetting the IAD causes the configuration changes to take effect.

Enabling and Dis- abling Bridging

For bridging to function correctly, you must enable bridging both globally or by port and then set the bridge aging timer. At least two ports must be enabled for bridging to function. You must also disable RIP poisoned reverse. The order in which you perform the procedures is irrelevant.

To enable routing globally (Chapter 4, Router Configuration on page 96), you must disable bridging globally. However, you may enable routing on some ports and bridging on others, depending on your requirements.

NOTE When bridging is disabled globally or on an interface (port) or an IP address is unconfigured, IP Over Bridge is disabled automatically.

IP Over Bridging

IP Over Bridging is intended for use then the IAD is in full bridged mode, but remote access (Telnet) and/or user authentication (RADIUS) are required.
