Important Notes About Bridging Interfaces Parent topic

Select two different interfaces to form a bridge. Although all L2 and L3 interfaces can be selected, different combinations result in different behaviors:
  • If Interface 1 and Interface 2 are both L2 interfaces, the two interfaces are added to a bridge.
  • The IP address, netmask, and default gateway for the bridge are optional.
  • Any L3 interfaces used in creating a bridge are degraded to L2 interface types.
  • If the L3 interface is referenced by services like NAT, DHCP, Dynamic DNS, the interface can be added into the bridge until the reference relationship is removed.
Note
Note
The IP address and netmask of the bridge are optional when there are other configured L3 interfaces with access rights to the web console. Otherwise, the web console access may not have access to Deep Edge. Users must access the CLI to repair this condition.
