[c-nsp] ME3600X Local Connect

[Andrew K.]

Connect does exist but you can't use it with a bridge domain.

The connect command is only used for two service instances.  If you need 
to link three or more that traffic must be switched, so then just use a 
bridge-group.

Connect example

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch (config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet
Switch (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 10,20,30-50
Switch (config-if-srv)# exit

Switch (config)# interface gigabitethernet0/3
Switch (config-if)# service instance 1 Ethernet
Switch (config-if-srv)# encapsulation dot1q 10,20,30-50


Switch (config)#connect NAMEHERE GigabitEthernet0/2 1 GigabitEthernet0/3 1
