I have no idea how I got on this list. Would someone mind taking me off? I'm not sure how to do it.

Thanks,
Vivek

It is useful if the server doing the bridging is also doing something else, such as firewall policy enforcement.

Then, you may move hosts in and out of the "protected" VLAN simply by changing their port VLAN assignment. No messing with cabling, no IP address changes.

Hello, I am creating a configuration where a Redhat server running bridge-tools 0.9.5 will be bridging between different VLANs on the same physical interface (for example: a bridge consisting of eth1.100 and eth1.110). This physical interface is being connected to modern Cisco switches running PVST+.


I'm curious as to how this is useful?  What is the point of having
two VLANs on the same segment if you are just going to bridge them
together?  Is this useful for something beyond some sort of migration?

Curious,

John
