Applicable Environment
To allow LANs on the same network segment but in different geographic locations to
communicate with each other at the link layer, you can configure remote bridging. To allow
users in the same VLAN to communicate with each other and isolate users in different VLANs,
VLAN ID transparent transmission needs to be enabled.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring remote bridging, complete the following task:
l
Configuring physical parameters for interfaces to ensure that the interfaces are physically
Up
Data Preparation
To configure remote bridging, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1
Number of a bridge group
2
Number of an interface added to a bridge group
2.5.2 Creating a Bridge Group
A bridge group is a virtual group. It can forward packets only after interfaces have been added
to the group.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
bridge
bridge-id
A bridge group is created and the bridge group view is displayed.
If the bridge group specified by
bridge-id
exists, the bridge group view is displayed.
Multiple devices can use the same bridge number.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
By default, dynamic MAC address learning is enabled for a bridge group. When a network is
insecure and vulnerable to attacks, you can disable dynamic MAC address learning and use static
MAC address entries for traffic forwarding. Perform one or more of the following operations
depending on the type of MAC address entries to be added:
