General Discussion / Bridge two ports, not including LAN
« on: October 30, 2023, 04:53:44 am »
I would like to bridge two low-traffic interfaces which have the same essential uses, rules, security requirements.
Documentation and examples I have seen assume that the LAN port is added to the bridge, but that would not be the case here.
Would the general steps be:
Thus the question: is configuration set on the bridge or derived by the bridge from one of its interfaces? The former makes more sense to me but discussions seem to imply the second case.
Documentation and examples I have seen assume that the LAN port is added to the bridge, but that would not be the case here.
Would the general steps be:
- Remove current configuration from the two interfaces (call them Opt2 & 3)
- Create a bridge
- Add Opt2 & Opt3
- Skip steps 3-5 in the documentation
- Set tunables as in step 6
- Set DHCP and rules on the bridge interface
