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?
You can add a bridge group for 10 vlans, and route them to another bridge
group of 10 VLANs. You can also enforce firewall rules on particular
VLANs (ie, could put each customer on individual VLAN, and backhaul them
all to one linux box to bridge/firewall/bill/etc them...)
