We have a unique situation where our transport equipment can't bridge the
traffic between two endpoints, so we would like to dump off each link's VLAN
onto our router (7609-S with WS-X6748-GE-TX blades) where it can perform the
bridging. Any reason why the following configuration wouldn't work?
interface GigabitEthernet1/31
description Customer networks
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 221-222
switchport mode trunk
end
interface Vlan221
description Site 1
no ip address
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
!
interface Vlan222
description Site 2
no ip address
bridge-group 2
bridge-group 2 spanning-disabled
!
Some of you might ask why not put the endpoints in the same VLAN, but the
endpoints don't maintain an MAC address table so there's nothing to make
them exchange traffic with each other.
Regards,
Frank
