By default all CMG/HSG interfaces are layer 3 interfaces (routed mode), hosts coming in from different interfaces have to be routed across mbox to communicate. Sometimes it’s desirable to allow them to communicate directly, eg. bridge wireless users and LAN users.
mbox support 802.D ethernet bridging, which allows hosts connected to different mbox interfaces to communicate directly, by assigning them into the same bridge. Hosts connected to the same bridge belong to the same lay-2 segment and will have same network subnet/mask.
Bridge configuration example
Bridge configuration example
When configuring bridging interfaces, following conditions apply:
assign physical interfaces into a bridge group
each interface should have no IP address assigned.
(optional) assign IP address to the logical bridge interface
