Could anyone elaborate what the “Edge” function does under the Bridge Port Settings? I’ve looked through the documentation on the Wiki and the description isn’t helping me come to a conclusion.
“Set port as edge port or non-edge port, or enable automatic detection” - What does this actually mean?
The goal I’m trying to achieve is to use ROS to terminate L2TPv2 and use BCP to bridge dot1q traffic from WiFi access points [successful]. I do this with Cisco routers at the moment, but using newer x86 technology is far superior and less costly than scaling out my current solution.
Many L2TP tunnels → Ether1 (L3) → LNS Server → l2tp interface → Bridge → Ether2 (L2) → Switch…
Ether2 in the Cisco setup has a handy feature called “bridge-group x subscriber-trunk”. This has helped minimize broadcasts going upstream to a degree, and I’m trying to locate the same type of function if it exists within ROS.
Thanks in advance!
