Hi, I have a very simple network configuration:
root@WL-500gP:~# cat /etc/config/network #### VLAN configuration config switch eth0 option enable 1 config switch_vlan eth0_9 option device "eth0" option vlan 9 option ports "0t 1t 2t 3t 4t 5t" #### LAN configuration config interface lan option type bridge option ifname "eth0.9" option proto static option ipaddr 10.10.10.253 option netmask 255.255.255.240 option gateway 10.10.10.254 root@WL-500gP:~# As you can see, physical interface eth0.9 is associated with interface configuration section "lan" and interface type is set to "bridge". IPv4 parameters are set manually. 1) Is this "option type bridge" meant to bridge(put interfaces to same broadcast domain) radio interface defined in /etc/config/wireless file with the VLAN interface defined in "option ifname" line? 2) How does bridge understand that he should answer when someone sends packets to 10.10.10.253? I guess this bridge does not work like a switch which does not check IP header when forwarding traffic? Instead, each frame passing through the bridge is processed and if IPv4 destination is 10.10.10.253, then router will know that this packet was destined to it? regards, Martin
