This chapter describes how to configure the CSS interfaces and circuits and how
to bridge interfaces to Virtual LANs (VLANs). Information in this chapter applies
to all CSS models, except where noted.
This chapter contains the following major sections:

• Configuring RIP for an IP Interface
• Configuring the Switched Port Analyzer Feature
Interface and Circuit Overview
The CSS provides Ethernet interfaces (ports) that enable you to connect servers,
PCs, routers, and other devices to the CSS.
Using the bridge command, you assign the Ethernet interfaces to a specific
VLAN. Each VLAN circuit requires an IP address. Assigning an IP address to
each VLAN circuit allows the CSS to route Ethernet interfaces from VLAN to
VLAN.
