[nsp] Bridging?

[Todd, Douglas M.]

Vincent:

1: If I understand the scenario correctly we are trying just to bridge the two
ether segments together making one broadcast domain?  Or are you trying just to
bridge two serial interfaces together thus creating the same broadcast domain
(There are better ways of doing this).

Thus for merging the segments:

Segment1 -> Router1 -> WAN -> Router2 -> Segment2
Would become:

Segment1 -> Router1 -> WAN -> Router2 -> Segment1

OR:


Segment1 -> Router1:Net1:ip1 -> WAN - ip4:Net1:Router 2 -> Segment1
Segment1 -> Router1:Net1:ip2 -> WAN - ip5:Net1:Router 3 -> Segment3
Segment1 -> Router1:Net1:ip3 -> WAN - ip6:Net1:Router 4 -> Segment4

Or:

Segment1 -> Router1:Net1:ip1 -> WAN - ip4:Net1:Router 2 -> Segment1
(Point to multipoint interface)	  ip5:Net1:Router 3 -> Segment3
(Point to multipoint interface) 	  ip6:Net1:Router 4 -> Segment4


(Point to multipoint design with un-numbered interfaces would accomplish this
better)

2: Start with what protocol are you bridging, IP?  I guess I am unclear why you
would want to do this unless you don't want to break up the address space, ie:
make a point-to-multipoint design (Keep all s0s in the same network).

3: You are replacing the 1600 with a bridged 2600?  

4: David's response is right if you are looking to bridge from bvi0->s0 etc.
