3.2.2 Ethernet Bridging
The Watson Ethernet plug-in card has a built-in Ethernet bridge that connects
Ethernet ports, DSL spans and the plug-in controller:
Figure 3-4: Watson Ethernet plug-in Block diagram
The Ethernet bridge supports the following modes
1) VLAN bridging. Layer 2 VLANs are used to control the traffic. For an Ethernet
packet to be sent from one port to another both ports must be configured to
be in the same VLAN. This bridging mode allows that Ethernet user interfac-
es can be switched to DSL interfaces and vice versa. It is also possible to
switch packets from several DSL interfaces to one Ethernet interface (con-
centration), to switch packets from an Ethernet or DSL interface to the Man-
agement Processor interface MGMT3 (used for inband management) or to
switch packets from DSL to DSL interface.
2) Transparent bridging. In this mode there is a fixed association between DSL
and Ethernet bridge ports:
Figure 3-5: Transparent bridging
Transparent bridging is similar to the VLAN transparency provided by the
Watson Ethernet tabletop modem, cf. 3.3.2. Transparent bridging lacks the
flexibility of VLAN bridging, and inband management or linear networks are
not supported in this mode. The advantage of transparent bridging is that it is
not required to configure any VLAN tags on the bridge, any VID received on
an Ethernet port will be relayed to the corresponding DSL span and vice ver-
sa.
Note that the association between Ethernet and DSL spans is independent of
the currently configured multipair mode of the DSL spans. If for example all
four DSL wire pairs are combined to a single DSL span (DSL1) then Ethernet
port ETH1 will be associated with DSL span DSL1 while ports ETH2 .. ETH4
and DSL2 .. DSL4 do not carry any traffic at all.
