bridging in 7600 platform

[ratsakth]

Topology:

=======

rtrA----------(gi1/1)7600(gi1/1)-------rtrB

I am trying to bridge the traffic(including different vlan traffic) from rtrA to rtrB using "bridge-group" functionality.

I achived the same using a 7200 using the below configuration-

bridge irb

!

int gi1/1

bridge-group 1

int gi1/1

bridge-group 1

!

bridge 1 protocol ieee

When I tried the same using 7600 router ping failed between rtrA and rtrB. Then from the documents it seems "bridge irb" is not supported in 7600.

Is there any other way we can achieve the same fuctionality ( eg: using switchport also fine) ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Since both router a and b are connected to the 7600, simply put the interfaces that connects to both routers in the same vlan access port.

example

vlan 10

exit

interface gix/x

switchport

swtchport mode access

switchport access vlan 10

Thanks a lot Reza.

Will it allow to send a different vlan traffic (e.g vlan 200) via 7600 from rtrA to rtrB.

I could achieve the above using bridge-group functionality in 7200.

Hi,

Yes, if you want the link to carry more then one vlan, then you would need to trunk the link

interface gix/x

switchport

switchport trunk enca dot1q

swtchport mode trunk

Reza,

I'm trying to do the same also on a 7600 basically a 7600 with two GigE ports connected to two ASAs in Active-Standby mode. In order to do routing do I also need to create and SVI and assign an IP address?

Thank You

John
