Hi people,
This is a question about lab 8, so if you haven't done it yet, avert your
eyes now !
On lab 8b, you have to configure bridging between the ethernet segment
connected to r1 & r7 and the serial connection between r1 & r5. So far so
good. However, then you are required to configure IRB on r5. Why? I was
under the (obviously mistaken) impression that with IRB you use it with
multiple interfaces in a bridge-group and it provides routing (ref. Cisco
LAN Switching (CiscoPress)). There's only one interface in the bridge group
on r5. Is this something to do with encapsulation ??!!
I've checked the CD-ROM/Caslow/everywhere (I think). Any ideas/doc.s to
reference?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
