Establishing a CBF Connection

You can establish a CBF connection between two bridged IP interfaces (see Figure 18). Traffic other than IP and PPPoE traffic is forwarded through the CBF connection to the associated bridged IP interface. You must have at least two bridged IP interfaces configured to establish a connection.

To establish a CBF connection:

1. Select a bridged IP interface in the list area.
2. Right-click, and select Establish CBF Connection.

The Establish CBF Connection for Bridged IP dialog box appears.

 NOTE: If information is already entered in the Bridged IP B group box, then a connection has already been made to the selected interface. To change the connection point, continue to the next step.



 

3. Click the Select Bridged IP button.

The Select Bridged IP (1483) dialog box appears and lists all available bridged IP interfaces on the device.

 NOTE: If no interfaces are listed, there are no other bridged IP interfaces on the device.



 

4. To list only bridged IP (1483) interfaces that are not currently connected to another bridged IP interface, select the Open Ended check box, and click List. The list is updated.
5. Select the bridged IP interface that you want to connect to.
   

   NOTE: If you select a bridged IP interface that is already connected to another bridged IP interface, the old connection will be deleted when the new connection is created in Step 7.

   
   
6. Click OK.

The Bridged IP interface's information is entered in the Bridged IP B group box of the Establish CBF Connection for Bridged IP dialog box.

7. Click OK.

The connection is established.
