Figure 9-14, 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.
