Solved: Bridging and routing together

cornerstoned · ‎07-19-2005

Hello, I'm needing some assistance with an issue not many seem to know... experts only attempt this:

I need to bridge my VoIP and route my Data via RIP v2, EIGRP, and have this bridging and routing go over two serial T1 links to two seperate facilities.

Can some give me an example how to do this? I've posted my config file as it stands right now - really in a bind and would appreciate someone seasoned helping us with this matter.

Thanks, JR

When you bridge and route over an interface in the router, it has to be done by protocol. In other words, you have to route all of one prtoocol and bridge another. For example, you can route IP and bridge SNA on the same interface. What you cannot do is attempt to route some portion of a protocol and bridge another part it. So, you cannot tell the router to bridge from/to one IP subnet and route another IP subnet. It's much more fundamental than that-> you have to decide whether or not to route or bridge IP on that interface.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate you following up. I found that out just the other day when I pursued this issue with a different vendor. Everything is in order now.
