9.6.3.2 Adding a LAN-side Interface to a Bridge Group
Context
A bridge group is a virtual group. It can forward packets only after interfaces have been added
to the group.
As shown in Figure 9-16, the following methods can be used to add users to a bridge group:
l Directly add users to the bridge group. User 1 uses this method.
l 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
2 and User 3 use this method.
l 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.
