A
bridge connects two interfaces using the same protocol to pass traffic transparently
across
the bridged interfaces. While in bridge mode,
Deep Edge is
invisible on the network and acts as a layer 2 bridge between network devices (switch,
router,
or firewall), transparently scanning network traffic in both directions.

Deep Edge supports dual links to configure multiple
WAN/ISPs connected to the appliance. Deep Edge has two
inbound and two outbound links. Add multiple bridges to support multiple ISPs or WANs.
Deep Edge is transparent between the two ISPs while an L3
router manages traffic.
Deep Edge supports Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) to ensure a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network.
