According to the layer at which the device processes received data packets,
Ethernet interfaces can work in bridge or route mode.
Follow these steps to change the working mode of an Ethernet interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet interface view
Change the working mode of an
Ethernet interface
c
CAUTION:
Only 4SIC-FSW interface cards, 9DSIC-FSW interface cards, and the fixed
■
switching interfaces of 20-21 routers support work mode switching.
On an MSR series router, you can change the working mode to route mode for
■
up to two Ethernet interfaces.
After you change the working mode of an Ethernet interface, all the settings of
■
the Ethernet interface are restored to their defaults.
Ethernet interface configuration in bridge mode involves the following tasks:

Port group enables configurations to be applied to multiple ports at the same
time. It relieves users of some duplicated operations that are needed on multiple
devices. Any commands executed in port group view apply to all the ports in the
port group.
A port group belongs to one of the following two categories:
Manual port group: manually created by users. You can add multiple Ethernet
■
interfaces to a manual port group.
Dynamic port group: dynamically created by the system, currently mainly used
■
to form link aggregation port groups. A link aggregation port group is
automatically created together with the creation of a link aggregation group
and cannot be created by users through command line input. The operations to
