Interworking on the Same Network Segment
An enterprise has multiple departments located in the same office building but on different floors.
As businesses develop, data communication is required between the terminals within the same
department, and between some departments. Due to information security, information in some
departments need to be isolated with that in the other departments. In this case, local bridging
can be used. Users that require communication with each other need to be added to the same
bridge group so that some departments can communicate or be isolated with other departments.
, User 1 and User 2 belong to the same department, and both of them
are added to VLAN 11. User 4 and User 3 belong to the different departments. User 1, User 2,
and User 3 need to communicate with each other. After bridge groups are created on RouterA,
