2.3 Configuring Local Bridging

Configuring local bridging allows users in the same geographical location and on the same
network segment to communicate with each other.

2.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring local bridging, familiarize yourself with applicable environment, complete
the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration. This will help
you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
