Remote Users on the Same Network Segment
An enterprise has multiple departments in different locations. As businesses develop, data
communication is required between the terminals within the same department, and between some
departments. To enable the communication between departments in different locations, remote
bridging can be used.
, intermediate links are used to connect RouterA and RouterB, which
are located in different locations. Users 1 to 4 are on the same network segment. User 3 and User
4 are in a different location than User 1 and User 2. Configuring remote bridging allows User 1
and User 2 to communicate with User 3 and User 4.

Remote Users in the Same VLAN on the Same Network Segment
To allow users in the same department (the same VLAN) to communicate with each other, and
to isolate users in different departments (different VLANs), VLAN ID transparent transmission
must be enabled.
As shown in
, User 1, User 2, User 3, and User 4 are on the same network segment.
User 1 and User 3 belong to a VLAN; User 2 and User 4 belong to the other VLAN. To allow
users in the same VLAN to communicate with each other and isolate users in different VLANs,
remote bridging and VLAN ID transparent transmission can be enabled. In this manner, User 1
can only communicate with User 3, and User 2 can only communicate with User 4.
