yes.

how are you going to test that it's working?

Can you configure bridging using only serial interfaces, no ethernet
involved at all?  I have a 2501 connected to a 2511, and a 2503 connected to
the same 2511, both via serial.  I want to configure the 2 serial interfaces
on the 2511 to bridge between them, is that possible?  There is no practical
reason for this, just setting it up in the lab and I am curious.  Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken- the CCIE proctors have no way of checking bridging
beyond a wink & nod @ the configs either.

If the 2511 was the hub of a hub and spoke WAN, and there was an application
between the other two sites that required bridging, that's what good it
would do.

What I was going to do was set up 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252 on the serial
interface of the 2501 and 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.252 on the serial

It isn't working, I have CRB enabled, set up bridge group 1, put both
interfaces on the 2511 into that bridge group, and told the router to bridge
IP for that bridge group using "bridge 1 bridge ip", which doesn't show up

RE: Bridging [7:20078]

2001-09-16 Thread Chuck Larrieu

concurrent routing and bridging permits routing and bridging on the same
router, but not on the same interfaces. you cannot bridge OSPF in this way,
if I understand you correctly. I don't see an OSPF configuration below, so I
can't really analyze it.

bridge bridge is unnecessary in that all bridgeable protocols are bridged by
default.

Yes but the original post stated bridging ONLY on the serial and not
on a LAN interface so my point is still valid.

RE: Bridging [7:20078]

2001-09-18 Thread Chuck Larrieu

hate to say it, but you are routing, not bridging. you have RIP turned on,
and you have IP addresses for the classful 172.17.0.0 network on all
interfaces. that's why the ping works.

remove RIP and turn off routing ( no ip routing ) and see what happens.

I am not denying that one can bridge across serial interfaces. but it does
no good unless hosts on either end of the bridge group can connect. that was
the reason I made the comment I did.
