Interfaces
3. Create the bridge:
(config)> add network bridge my_bridge
(config network bridge my_bridge)>
4. Bridges are enabled by default.
To disable:
n
(config network bridge my_bridge)> enable false
(config network bridge my_bridge)>
To enable if it has been disabled:
n
(config network bridge my_bridge)> enable true
(config network bridge my_bridge)>
5. Add devices to the bridge:
a. Determine available devices:
(config network bridge my_bridge)> .. .. interface lan device ?
Device: The network device used by this network interface.
Format:
/network/device/eth1
/network/device/eth2
/network/device/loopback
/network/bridge/lan
/network/wireless/ap/digi_ap
Default value: /network/bridge/lan
Current value: /network/bridge/lan
(config network bridge my_bridge)>
b. Add the appropriate device. For example, to add the Digi AP Wi-Fi access point:
(config network bridge my_bridge)> add device end
/network/wireless/ap/digi_ap
(config)>
Note
The MAC address of the bridge is taken from the first available device in the list.
6. (Optional) Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
STP is used when using multiple LANs on the same device, to prevent bridge loops and other
routing conflicts.
a. Enable STP:
(config network bridge my_bridge)> stp enable true
b. Set the number of seconds that the device will spend in each of the listening and learning
states before the bridge begins forwarding data:
