Inter bridge port communication

R

RitheshShenthar

If I have 2 ports - em1 and em2, and each one is in a different bridge group say bridge0 and bridge1 such that -
em1 is in bridge0
em2 is in bridge1

Is it possible to configure inter-bridge communication between bridge0 and bridge1 for routing?

How do I configure FreeBSD such that packets incoming on em1 that need to go out on em2 can still be forwarded though they lie on different bridge groups? [I need different STP on the two bridges that's why it's been divided into two different bridge groups].
 
I'd say just give the bridge interfaces IP addresses (in two different subnets of course) and the system should take care of the rest, assuming you have gateway_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
 
Keep in mind that bridges work on layer 2 whereas routing is layer 3.
