Bridging

You can configure the router to act as a remote bridge so that it can:

bridge non-IP protocols

bridge two sites using addresses on the same subnet

The ProCurve Secure Router automatically implements Rapid Spanning Tree

Protocol (RSTP), or IEEE 802.1w on all bridged interfaces. Bridges and

switches run RSTP to eliminate loops from the network topology.

Configuring Bridging

You configure a bridge by assigning interfaces to it. These interfaces then act

like bridge ports. They learn the MAC addresses for frames so that they can

properly forward frames received on other bridged interfaces.

To configure bridging, complete the following steps:

If you are configuring the router to bridge two remote segments of the

same subnet, you must set the default gateway and disable IP routing

before configuring the bridge:

In the left navigation bar under Router/Bridge, select Default Gate-

way. Enter the IP address for the router's default gateway. This

address should either be a router interface or a unit that knows how

to reach the router; otherwise, you will lock yourself out of the Web

browser interface. Click Apply.

b. Under Router/Bridge in the left navigation bar, select Routing.

Uncheck the IP Routing box. Click Apply.
