Cisco Router Bridge Configuration

[husseinmuneer]

Dear Sir,

Find the attached image.

I want to connect router0 with router1 and want them to work as brigdes , the routers in diffirent places and they are connected through Ethernet extender modems ( modems connected with each othere by a pair copper line - dead line)

I made test and connect them by UTP cable as showm in the image and do the written configuration but PC1 can't ping to PC0 and vice versa.

Do you think the configuration is not right or what?

Note: Just I used the Packet Tracer program to draw the topology not to make test. I did test by physical routers.

Hi,

In addition to these command, you also need to create a BVI interface interface and give it an IP address.  See below example

bridge irb

interface BVI1

ip address 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0

Thanks Reza,

I did which you said so see the attached configuration for the two routers.

I made the test using cisco router 837 and using E0 and E2 interfaces.

PC1 connected to RTR1 (E0)

PC2 Connected to RTR2 (E0)

RTR1 Connected with RTR2 through E2 in each of them.

After I completed:

PC1 and PC2 can ping to BVI 1 in RTR1 and BVI1 in RTR2 but they can't ping to each other.

WHat do you think the problem ?

After looking at your config, I do not see below command in RTR1

bridge 1 protocol ieee

Can you add this and test again?

Sorry for lateness,

bridge 1 protocol ieee is available in both routers.
