Brouter port commands
A brouter port is a single-port VLAN that can route IP packets as well as
bridge all non-routable traffic. The following section describes the CLI
commands used to configure and manage brouter ports on the Nortel
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series.
brouter command
The brouter command is used to create and manage a brouter port on
the switch.
The syntax of the brouter command is:
brouter [port <brouter_port>] vlan <vid> subnet
<ip_address/mask> [routing enable]
The following table describes the parameters of this command.
brouter parameters
Parameter Description
<brouter_port> The brouter port. When creating a brouter this is the port
to be used for the new brouter. When modifying a brouter
this is the port of the existing brouter to modify.
<vid> The VLAN ID of the brouter. When creating a new brouter
port, this is the VLAN ID assigned to the brouter port.
<ip_address/mask> The IP address and subnet mask of the brouter. When
creating a new brouter, this is the IP address and subnet
mask assigned. When modifying a brouter port, this is the
new IP address and subnet mask to assign to the port.
The subnet mask portion is expressed as a value between
0 and 32.
The brouter command is executed in the FastEthernet IEEE 802.3
Interface Configuration mode.
no brouter command
The no brouter command is used to disable or remove a brouter from
the switch.
The syntax of the no brouter command is:
no brouter [port <brouter_port>] [routing enable]
The <brouter_port> parameter represents the brouter port to disable
or remove from the switch.
The no brouter command is executed in the FastEthernet IEEE 802.3
Interface Configuration mode.
