With crossbow bridges are for bridging two physical ports, not for bridging VNICs with physical interfaces. It's somewhat pointless to bridge an etherstub and a physical interface, because every interface already includes an etherstub. The configuration you have now is functionally equivalent to having neither brTEST0 nor switch2, except that what you have is inefficient. Don't confuse crossbow for open-vswitch.
Just use rge0 tagged with admin. VNICs can attach directly to physical interfaces. -- Brian Bennett Systems Engineer, Cloud Operations Joyent, Inc. | www.joyent.com <http://www.joyent.com/> > On Aug 15, 2015, at 4:29 PM, G B via smartos-discuss > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong.
