than the receiving interface.

Configuring basic bridging functionalities
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
• When you configure transparent bridging over ATM, you must enable transmission and
receiving of bridged frames on the PVC.
• When you configure transparent bridging over PPP, you must configure PPP on the interface as
the link layer protocol for interface encapsulation.
• When you configure transparent bridging over multilink PPP (MP), you must configure PPP on
the interface as the link layer protocol for interface encapsulation, create a virtual template
interface and associate the physical interface with the virtual template interface.
• When you configure transparent bridging over FR, you must configure FR on the interface as
the link layer protocol for interface encapsulation, configure the FR interface type (optional,
DTE by default) and configure a virtual circuit. When establishing transparent bridging over FR,
you must configure mappings between bridge addresses and data link connection identifier
(DLCI) addresses.
