ATM Cat-8500 bridging & managing by LMS

[richard.turian]

There is a need for managing Cat85x0 boxes. We`ve created bridging on FastEthernet and ATM ports, and connected E0 ports (on Route Proc. module)into FastEthernet card (see attachment). The problem is i`m not able to have IP connectivity to E0 port. Is it possible to connect E0(management port) to FastEthernet card within the same box and bridge it?

Because bridging is in the data-link layer (Layer 2) and routing is in the network layer (Layer 3), they have different protocol configuration models.For more information
