Bridge two VLANS

Tue Mar 14, 2017 7:27 pm

Hello, i have two completely different networks and i need to interchange some vlans from one two other.
My idea is to create vlans in both interface and bridge it, for example.

Vlan5.Ether1 <--> Ether5.Vlan7

Can this be done?

Yes you can do that.

Make bridge and add VLAN's to bridge and that working.

You can check bridging performance on each router model, but bridging is not CPU intensive and most gigabit models are capable of it.
But I would recommend at least a 850Gx2 or a 3011, since it will allow Gbit performance on NAT if needed.

You can move a lot more than that... Bridging + 1Gbps NAT full speed takes at most 10% processor power on my 1009.

Opsss i bought to much, what is in the display shown? I hope i can show traffic use of the bridge.

The real traffic, for now, is a couple kbps but i will implement a OSPF and BGP network around it.

Thanks for all.
