Aaryn,

I'de be interested to hear about those caveats you mention. I know
transparent bridging between TR and Eth must be possible because even the
CCO Bridging and IBM Networking config guide discusses the use of OUI in
converting from TR to Eth in the paragraph about SRT. I am trying to do that
kind of transparent bridging myself in with the following scenario.

bvi1=10.1.1.2 bvi=10.1.1.4
10.1.1.5
R2(to0)--------------(to0)R4(s1)-------(s0)R1(e0)-------RHOST router acting
as host

I have got IRB enabled on R2, R4 and R1 and put all BVI interfaces into the
same subnet to test bridging across what I intend to be a single broadcast
domain. I can ping R4 from the RHOST, but not R2. A debug shows that the ARP
request from RHOST actually gets across to R2 ok, but for some reason R2
doesn't enter into the ARP cache, and so the resulting ping fails. Here is
the debug arp failure

*Mar 9 05:30:13.314: IP ARP req filtered src 10.1.1.5 0000.0c8d.a396, dst
10.1.1.2 0000.0000.0040 wrong cable, interface TokenRing0
*Mar 9 05:31:13.314: IP ARP req filtered src 10.1.1.5 0000.0c8d.a396, dst
10.1.1.2 0000.0000.0040 wrong cable, interface TokenRing0

The fact that the ARP request got through shows that bridging is working for
the broadcast, so its not a bit-swap issue. Any help would be appreciated.
See below for configs

Thanks

Mark
