Craig,

Apart from other suggestions, I think you also can do this:

1)Put ip address at both ends of the DS3;
2) Esbalish tunnels for each of your vlan using different loopback
interfaces;
3)put the vlans in their respective tunnles using brigde-group;
4) use rate limit based on the soure of loopback interface of the tunnel to
control how much each tunnel(vlan) can use the DS3;

Not sure wether you want to turn on the IRB, probably not.
Of course this is preety urgly using layer 3 to solve layer2 problem, but
just off the top of my head.

Subject: Need help with Cisco VLAN bridging....



Has anyone had experience bridging multiple VLANs accross a clear-channel
DS3?  I have 2 3640's populated with 1 FE and 1 HSSI.  They are connected
by
a DS3.  I've tried a couple of different configs, including turning one
router into a frame swich and building a PVC for each VLAN, but the
bridging
didn't seem to work. I've tried running SDE directly between the HSSI
ports...and that didn't seem to work. I'm up a against a deadline here,
and
would greatly appreciate any help you can offer.  I've also tried a couple
of IRB configs.

Thanks in advance,
craig
