9.6.3.3 Adding a WAN-side Interface to a Bridge Group
Context
Two devices can be connected using different types of intermediate links, such as Ethernet, PPP,
to bridge data between different LANs.
To implement remote bridging between different LANs, add the user-side interface connecting
to a LAN and the network-side interface connecting to the intermediate link to the same bridge
group.
Perform the following steps on the devices at both ends of the intermediate link.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface
interface-type interface-number
The view of the network-side interface is displayed.
Step 3
Perform the following operations depending on the type of interface:
l
Add an Ethernet interface to a bridge group.
1.
Run:
bridge
bridge-id
The Ethernet interface is added to the bridge group.
l
Add a PPP interface to a bridge group.
1.
Run:
link-protocol ppp
PPP is enabled on the interface.
2.
Run:
bridge
bridge-id
The PPP interface is added to the bridge group.
A maximum of 20 interfaces can be added to a bridge group. Different types of interfaces can
be added to the same bridge group. Layer 2 interfaces cannot be added to a bridge group.

9.6.3.4 (Optional) Disabling a Bridge Group from Bridging Specified Protocol
Packets
Context
To allow a bridge group to forward specified protocol packets, enable the function that bridges
the protocol packets on the bridge group. If a bridge group is disabled from bridging specified
protocol packets, the bridge group will discard the protocol packets.
