Module-03: Bridging

# Bridging:
▪ It is a Virtual Grouping of Physical Interface Where Routing Port of MikroTik Router act
as Switching Port.
▪ The bridge feature allows the interconnection of hosts connected to separate LANs
(using EoIP, geographically distributed networks can be bridged as well if any kind of IP
network interconnection exists between them) as if they were attached to a single LAN.
# Bridge Interface Setup:
▪ /interface bridge
▪ /interface bridge> add
▪ /interface bridge add name=bridge1
▪ /interface bridge> print
▪ /interface bridge port> add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
▪ /interface bridge port> add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether2
▪ /interface bridge port> print
▪ /interface bridge port move 3 0
▪ /interface bridge port print
▪ /interface bridge settings
# Configuration:
▪ Bridge -> + -> General -> Name (LAN Bridge)
▪ Bridge -> + -> STP -> Select RSTP
▪ Bridge -> + -> Port -> Select Ether2
▪ Bridge -> + -> Port -> Select Ether3
▪ Bridge -> + -> Port -> Select Ether4
