Bridged
Bridges are ISO layer two functions which connect network segments and
direct traffic based on Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
MAC addresses are a unique address per physical device. Routers are layer
three devices which use IP Addresses to direct packets.
Bridges direct packets based on address information in the packets as well as
information learned from the processing and directing of other packets.
The Interfaces | Bridged page displays the bridged interfaces which have
been defined and the IP address assigned to that interface.
To create bridge interfaces see Creating bridge connections, page 163 .
Figure 72: The Configuration | Bridges page, shows existing bridges by VLAN.
