Command Reference Guide

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide Ethernet Interface Configuration Command Set

bridge-group <group#>

Use the bridge-group command to assign an interface to the specified bridge group. This command is

supported on all Ethernet interfaces, PPP virtual interfaces, Frame Relay virtual sub-interfaces, and atm

sub-interfaces. Use the no form of this command to remove the interface from the bridge group.

Syntax Description

<group#> Bridge group number (1 to 255) specified using the bridge-group command

Default Values

By default, there are no configured bridge groups.

Command Modes

(config-interface)# Interface Configuration Mode

Valid interfaces include: Ethernet, virtual PPP interfaces (ppp 1), virtual Frame

Relay sub-interfaces (fr 1.20), and atm sub-interfaces (1.2).

Functional Notes

A bridged network can provide excellent traffic management to reduce collisions and limit the amount of

bandwidth wasted with unnecessary transmissions when routing is not necessary. Any two interfaces can

be bridged (Ethernet to T1 bridge, Ethernet to Frame Relay sub-interface).

Usage Examples

The following example assigns the Ethernet interface to bridge-group 17:

(config)#interface eth 0/1

(config-eth 0/1)#bridge-group 17
