I need to put the router in bridge mode so that the public ip address can be directly assigned to the interface of my PAN 200 FW.

thanks for the answer, what about line coding? encapsulation framerelay? &nbsp;do I need to specify that?

Yes. The serial interface will need to be configured for the F/R connection.

what about PPP? &nbsp;would it work too?<br />

That would depend on the circuit and your provider.<br />

I am assuming you meant frame-relay over T1.

is it possible to configure cisco router 2801 in bridge mode? &nbsp;I have a T1 frame from provider and I want to terminate to my PAN 200 that does not support T1 card, so I want to use the cisco 2801 that has a CSU/DSU WIC as bridge mode.

Bridge mode configuration

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
