Sir,
we have 2948 G switch.In that we are using bridge group
configration instead of valn.Is there any advantage available for
bridge configauration over VLAN
interface BVI1
ip address 10.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
no ip directed-broadcast
!
interface BVI2
ip address 176.x.x.x 255.255.255.224
no ip directed-broadcast
Thanks in advance,
Senthi
Hi Senthil,
Bridge groups provide a method to group two or more ports into a single broadcast domain, where as VLAN's provide a method to group many ports into a single broadcast domain or establish a number of broadcast domains (or secure groups) on a single switch.
Bridge groups operate at layer 2. So they are not very effective at connecting layer 3 switches and routers.If you want to connect 2 ports of a layer 2 switch with 2 Ethernet interfaces of a router you can do that but the Ethernet interfaces on the router no longer operate as routed interfaces.
