This chapter is a brief introduction Bridge and Bridge understand basic configuration, based tutorial, mainly wifi bridging and network port router bridging role, in addition to the bridge did not inform more uses.
I. Introduction Bridge,
Bridge has two functions:
1.Bridge bridge is a virtual interface that can be used for loopback interface.
2. If the added physical interface or logical interfaces in which the bridge (e.g., vlan), then the switch is a bridge.
The switch supports STP, RSTP, MSTP such as Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent network loops.
PS: ROS from 6.41 to start, remove the master-Port, and then use the Bridge to handle hardware exchange traffic. The status of the bridge forward lifting length. In other words, the bridge has the functionality of the software and hardware exchange exchange.
How to view your router supports hardware switching function, H display interface, then, is hardware acceleration. Illustration is based on RB750Gr3
Command line is as follows:
Second, create a bridge and add interfaces
Create a bridge is simple, click Bridge, click the + sign, enter a custom name, click OK to.
Third, some of the recommendations
If we migrate physical interface to a bridge there, then our best and IP interfaces on the Bridge above, so you can ensure that the IP address can not be disconnected because of a physical interface failure.
As shown, our original address is Ether4 above
Now we want to migrate to Bridge1 above:
After doing this does not work, we also need to migrate our same DHCP interface to Bridge1 above.
After modifying the DHCP service will be normal!
Similarly, we can also WLAN interface, the interface is added to the bridge or Wlan inside, made of individual segments.
