[c-nsp] Bridging two VLANs together

[Zitouni Rachid]

Vlan translation could be a possible way to achieve it.

"Switchport vlan mapping" command ...

Subject: [c-nsp] Bridging two VLANs together

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
