[c-nsp] Bridging dot1q on a 7200

[Skeeve Stevens]

I know what I want to achieve and asked a question quite specifically to get
to that aim.

Why? Because the router is in the middle of the dc, with each switch about
400m away on each side... and it would cost about au$2k to get a cable put
between them both.  When there is already a gigE link to each switch, why
bother with a new cable?

Why bridge them on the router?

If the two interfaces are connected to different switches, why not either:

a) Run a cable between the two and trunk the VLAN accross if its the same
VLAN ID; or
b) Run a cable between the two, with each end in its respective VLAN

But a little more detail about what you want to achieve might help us better
advise of a solution.
