Avocent Access Router Cyclades-PR1000 User Manual

In Figure 5.1, an example of the use of an IP Bridge is given.  From the available IP addresses, the range
200.240.240.4 to 200.240.240.8 is bridged to another physical location.  The following parameters apply only
for IP Bridge.

Network Protocol Menu (Continued) -- (IP Bridge)

IP Bridge

Activates the IP Bridge functionality.

The following parameters apply only if IP Bridge is 

Active.

Initial IP Address to
be Bridged

Indicates the start of the range of IP addresses to be transferred to another physical
location.  This and the next three parameters are repeated in case the bridge is to be
broken up into various sections.  Up to 8 sections can be defined.  In the example, this
value is 200.240.240.4.

Ending IP Address to
be Bridged

Indicates the end of the range of IP addresses to be transferred to another physical
location.  In the example, this value is 200.240.240.8.

Broadcast Over the
Link

Allows propagation of broadcast IP packets over this bridge.

Bridge Over Link

Indicates which link forms the other half of the bridge.  In the example, link 1 is used.

Transparent Bridge is covered in chapter 7 and IPX is covered in chapter 13.  The parameters defined in the Routing
Protocol and Traffic Control Menus should be set after reading chapters 9 and 12, respectively.  It is probably best to
complete the basic configuration of all router interfaces, then return to the routing protocol and traffic control menus
after  general routing and traffic control strategies have been defined.
