Hello MT friends...!
so please anyone can explain in deep what is the different between interface and port in Router in general and in MT especially..?
I'm talking about hypothetical device. But any device running ROS 6.42+ and having bridge (HW offloaded or not) will behave similarly.Which device are you talking about?
Bridge without any L2.5 or L3 setup will act as a simple dumb switch ... passing traffic between member ports solely based on dst-mac-address. If you configure VLANs, it'll pass traffic based on VID and dst-mac-address. If you add IP address (L3 setup), it'll do the same as without it, but will allow software (ROS) to interact with that subnet (or multiple depending on config).How does a bridge pass data between ports when you dont have an address assigned to the bridge or you dont have vlans assigned to the bridge????
