Bridge Interface Types and Supported Configurations
A bridge interface can be configured as one of
the following types:
- Subscriber (client)—A subscriber (client) bridge
interface is downstream from the traffic flow;
that is, the traffic flow direction is from the server (trunk) to
the client (subscriber). This is the default bridge group interface
type.
- Trunk (server)—A trunk (server) bridge interface
is upstream from the traffic flow; that is, the
traffic flow direction is from the client (subscriber) to the server
(trunk). To configure a trunk bridge group interface, you must specify
the subscriber-trunk keyword as part of
the bridge-group command.
You can configure bridge interfaces to add transparent
bridging capabilities to your existing network configurations. Currently,
bridge interfaces can be stacked on:
- Bridged Ethernet over ATM 1483 subinterfaces
- Fast Ethernet interfaces
- Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
- 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
- VLAN subinterfaces over Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet,
10-Gigabit Ethernet, or bridged Ethernet interfaces
For sample configurations that include bridge interfaces,
see Configuration Examples. For information about configuring
Ethernet, ATM, and bridged Ethernet interfaces, see:
