2.3.3 Adding Local Interfaces to a Bridge Group

Adding local interfaces to a bridge group allows the local LANs to communicate with each other.
Context
A bridge group is a virtual group. It can forward packets only after interfaces have been added
to the group.

Figure 2-4 Networking diagram for adding users to bridge groups
Perform the following steps on the user-side interface of the device.
Issue 02 (2012-03-30)
By default, no blackhole MAC address entry is configured.
Configure attributes for dynamic MAC address entries of a bridge group.
– Run:
undo mac-address learning disable
Dynamic MAC address learning is enabled.
By default, dynamic MAC address learning is enabled for a bridge group.
– (Optional) Run:
mac-address aging-time seconds bridge
The aging time is configured for a dynamic MAC entry.
The configured aging time takes effect on the dynamic MAC address entries of all bridge
groups. The aging time can be 0 or ranges from 60 to 1000000, in seconds. The value
0 indicates that a dynamic MAC address entry will not age.
Figure 2-4, the following methods can be used to add users to a bridge group:
Directly add users to the bridge group. User 3 uses this method.
Use a VLAN to add users to the bridge group. Create a VLAN on a bridge and add users
to the VLAN. Users then connect to the bridge group through the VLANIF interface. User
1 and User 2 use this method.
Use Ethernet sub-interfaces to add users to the bridge group. This method is used when
flows on a physical interface need to be differentiated using sub-interfaces. User 4 uses this
method.
