It is useful if the server doing the bridging is also doing something
else, such as firewall policy enforcement.
Then, you may move hosts in and out of the "protected" VLAN simply by
changing their port VLAN assignment. No messing with cabling, no IP
address changes.

Hello, I am creating a configuration where a Redhat server running
bridge-tools 0.9.5 will be bridging between different VLANs on the same
physical interface (for example: a bridge consisting of eth1.100 and
eth1.110). This physical interface is being connected to modern Cisco
switches running PVST+.
I'm curious as to how this is useful? What is the point of having
two VLANs on the same segment if you are just going to bridge them
together? Is this useful for something beyond some sort of migration?
Curious,
John
