Chapter 3: Bridging Configuration Guide
Monitoring Bridging
The SSR provides display of bridging statistics and configurations contained in the SSR.
To display bridging information, enter the following commands in Enable mode.
Configuration Examples
VLANs are used to associate physical ports on the SSR with connected hosts that may be
physically separated but need to participate in the same broadcast domain. To associate
ports to a VLAN, you must first create a VLAN and then assign ports to the VLAN. This
section shows examples of creating an IP or IPX VLAN and a DECnet, SNA, and
AppleTalk VLAN.
Creating an IP or IPX VLAN
In this example, servers connected to port gi.1.(1-2) on the SSR need to communicate with
clients connected to et.4.(1-8). You can associate all the ports containing the clients and
servers to an IP VLAN called ‘BLUE’.
First, create an IP VLAN named ‘BLUE’
Next, assign ports to the ‘BLUE’ VLAN.
