2.3 Configuring Local Bridging
Configuring local bridging allows users in the same geographical location and on the same
network segment to communicate with each other.
2.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring local bridging, familiarize yourself with applicable environment, complete
the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration. This will help
you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
To allow users in the same geographical location and on the same network segment to
communicate with each other, you can configure local bridging. A device can be configured
with multiple bridge groups. Interfaces added to a bridge group can forward and broadcast traffic
in the bridge group based on the destination MAC address.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring local bridging, complete the following task:
l Configuring physical parameters for interfaces to ensure that the interfaces are physically
Up
Data Preparation
To configure local bridging, you need the following data.
