Chris,

Take a look at using irb to achieve this. That way you can bridge across
your required interfaces and still route where needed.

Subject: One poor 4700 router that needs to perform 3 important
tasks--Help Please

Hi folks,

I am in the need of ports and decided to make 2 switches and a route
generator in one 4700 8 port serial router.

Usually it is just a frame-switch. I need to make 3 of the ports (1Ethernet
and 2 serials) part of one bridge group. All three ports must reside in the
same bridge-group. I thought it would be simple enough to use a simple
config of

bridge 1 protocol ieee

int s0

bridge-group 1

int s1

bridge-group 1

int e0

bridge-group 1

on my 4700 router. But all of my endpoints still can't ping each other. I
also don't want to enter the command "no ip routing" because this same
router will be acting as a backbone router connecting to other parts of my
topology.

Another thing is that three ports still need to be dedicated to acting as a
frame-switch

So the summary is I need to:

Bridge three ports (S0,S1,E0)

Frame-Switch three ports (S2,S3,S4)

Backbone three ports (S5,S6, and E1)

I want all of these functions to still work and nothing to break when I set
up one part of my objective. I have been working on this all day. So before
going crazy I decided to give the team a try..

Your help and input is needed on how I can achieve this. Clean Configs or
whatever you can shoot me.......

Thanks in Advance,

chris hugo
