Chris,

Perhaps you could use crb instead then as this will isolate the routed ports
from the bridged ports. However, it sounds like you have a solution now?

Kind Regards,

Hi Jason,
First, thank you for your reply.
I was thinking about IRB but then I thought hmmm....these three interfaces
that I need bridged don't need to be routed anywhere. The router just needs
to act as a bridge and thats it for those three ports only. I want the
traffic on (S0,S1, and E0) to remain isolated from all of the other ports.
The (S0,S1, and E0) group resides in one subnet for example 139.1.1.0/24.
Thank you,
chris hugo

Chris,

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

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
