5.4 System Console Commands
5.4.1
Bridge Commands
Console commands should be prefixed with the Bridge in order to direct them
to the Bridge.
5.4.1.1
device add
Syntax:
device add <device>
Description: Adds a device to the Bridge configuration. Attempts to add the
bridge itself or an existing device to the bridge are rejected.
There is a limit on the number of devices that can be attached to
the bridge. If a device is successfully added to the bridge, it will
only become active after the configuration is saved and the
system is rebooted. If the device being added is from a process
which supports multiple devices, the /DEVICE attribute must be
specified as part of the device name. The table below shows
devices which may be attached to the bridge, although not all
systems may support all devices. If a device is successfully
added to the bridge, it will only become active after the
configuration is saved and the system is rebooted.
Example:
device add ethernet
device add ppp/DEVICE=2
