Configuring Bridge Ports 11-5
Bridge Configuration
You can conÞgure the following bridge port parameters (except Interface
Number):
Interface Number
This is a sequential number used to identify the interface; it will be assigned
automatically.
RLP
This parameter identiÞes the RLP containing the frame relay bridge port. Enter 0
for FRX4000 and SmartSwitch 1800 devices (for RLP0); enter 0 - 7 for an FRX6000.
Port
This parameter identiÞes the physical port on the RLP containing the bridge port.
Make sure the physical frame relay port is not reserved for backup DLCIs as
determined by the Backup Use Only parameter in the Frame Relay Port
ConÞguration window (see Chapter 5, Frame Relay Status and ConÞguration).
DLCI
This parameter is a number that identiÞes a virtual connection in the frame relay
network and is usually assigned by the frame relay provider. Make sure the DLCI
you select is not part of a frame relay DLCI backup group as determined by the
Backup Group Number parameter in the Frame Relay DLCI Table. (See Chapter 5,
Frame Relay Status and ConÞguration
.)
Also, make sure that the DLCI is different than the one conÞgured for the physical
port in the frame relay PVC record (see your FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 hardware
documentation for more information on conÞguring frame relay PVC
connections).
Priority
This Þeld prioritizes the bridge port for trafÞc within the device; the higher the
number, the higher the priority. This priority has no effect on trafÞc exiting the
device. Priorities are conÞgured on all logical interfaces that use a physical frame
relay port. The FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 processor uses these priorities to help
determine the order in which it will process protocols. The default value for this
parameter is 0.
!
CAUTION
Do not conÞgure more than one bridge port per DLCI.
TIP
When conÞguring priorities, be sure to consider the types of trafÞc being routed on other
connections in the node.
