be able to get the MAC address of the VoIP supplying access device (in this
case the zNID).
If there is no activity on the VoIP bridge, then the MAC address of the VoIP
supplying access device will eventually time out the MAC address of the VoIP
in the bridge forwarding table. Unlike the downlink of an asymmetric bridge,
the TLS bridge will flood all the bridge interfaces of the TLS VoIP VLAN and
rediscover the VoIP supplying access device.
Figure 14: Configuring bridges by service type
Though the asymmetric bridge types include the intralink bridge interface
type which is used for subtending other MXKs, MALCs, MALC XPs, or
Raptor XPs from the MXK via Active Ethernet cards, we will not be creating
intralink bridges in this document.
The uplink/dowlink bridges we will build are all based on specific VLANs —
VLAN 200 for the data bridge and VLAN 999 for the video bridge. VLAN
200 is a gateway to the internet. VLAN 999 has a head-end video server.
