B RIDGING N ETWORK E XAMPLE
OVERVIEW
This chapter provides an example of a simple network using remote bridge devices to access
remote users. Bridges are formed between each of the LANs to which the remote bridge devices are
connected, and the LAN to which the Remote Access Switches administered by SFVRA Connection
Manager is connected.
Note that a Hunt Group is used for the BRI lines pictured in Network Topology Worksheet. Remote
devices will then only need to configure one telephone number (the Hunt Group number) for the
Remote Access Switches instead of all four phone numbers. If the first line is busy, the next line is
automatically used, and so on until a free line is found. A Hunt Group number can be arranged
through your Service Provider.
INITIAL INSTALLATION STEPS
The first step to configuring a network administered by SFVRA-CONN is to fill out the network
worksheets located in the CyberSWITCH documentation. Once you complete the worksheets, you
may begin installing SFVRA-CONN. The initial steps are basically the same no matter how
complicated the network. Refer to the System Installation chapter, which describes in detail each of
these steps.
A Network Topology worksheet for this network is included on the following page.
