Refer to Configuring Traffic Filters and Protocol Prioritization for details about
filters and how to configure them for the bridge.
Enabling Bridge Service
This section describes how to enable bridge service and, optionally, spanning tree
on an interface. It assumes you have read Configuring Routers and that you have
1. Opened a configuration file.
2. Specified router hardware if this is a local mode configuration file.
3. Selected the link or net module connector on which you are enabling
bridge service, or configured a WAN circuit if this connector requires
one.
Enabling Bridge Service on an Interface
To enable bridge service without spanning tree, select Bridge from the Select
Protocols menu and click on OK. The Select Protocols menu appears after you
either select a link or net module connector, or finish configuring a WAN circuit.
When you enable bridge service without spanning tree, you need not specify any
configuration information, because Configuration Manager supplies default values
for the bridge parameters. The protocol pop-up window for the next enabled
protocol appears, or, if only bridge is enabled on this circuit, the Bay Networks
Configuration Manager window appears. To edit the default values for the bridge
parameters, refer to Editing Bridge P
arameters for instructions.
Enabling Spanning Tree on an Interface
To enable spanning tree on an interface, use the following procedure.
1. From the Select Protocols menu, select the Spanning Tree option that is
directly under the Bridge option.
Note that the Configuration Manager also selects the Bridge option because
this Spanning Tree protocol cannot run without Bridge enabled.
2. Click on OK.
The Spanning Tree Autoconfiguration window appears (Figure
1-13).
