Bridge
######
A Bridge is a way to connect two Ethernet segments together in a protocol
independent way. Packets are forwarded based on Ethernet address, rather than
IP address (like a router). Since forwarding is done at Layer 2, all protocols
can go transparently through a bridge. The Linux bridge code implements a
subset of the ANSI/IEEE 802.1d standard.
Configuration
#############
Address
-------
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> address <address | dhcp | dhcpv6>
Configure interface `<interface>` with one or more interface addresses.
* **address** can be specified multiple times as IPv4 and/or IPv6 address,
e.g. 192.0.2.1/24 and/or 2001:db8::1/64
* **dhcp** interface address is received by DHCP from a DHCP server on this
segment.
* **dhcpv6** interface address is received by DHCPv6 from a DHCPv6 server on
this segment.
Example:
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces bridge br0 address 192.0.2.1/24
set interfaces bridge br0 address 192.0.2.2/24
set interfaces bridge br0 address 2001:db8::ffff/64
set interfaces bridge br0 address 2001:db8:100::ffff/64
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> ipv6 address autoconf
:abbr:`SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)`
:rfc:`4862`. IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected
to an IPv6 network using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol via :abbr:`ICMPv6
(Internet Control Message Protocol version 6)` router discovery messages.
When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local router
solicitation multicast request for its configuration parameters; routers
respond to such a request with a router advertisement packet that contains
Internet Layer configuration parameters.
.. note:: This method automatically disables IPv6 traffic forwarding on the
interface in question.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> ipv6 address eui64 <prefix>
:abbr:`EUI-64 (64-Bit Extended Unique Identifier)` as specified in
:rfc:`4291` allows a host to assign iteslf a unique 64-Bit IPv6 address.
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces bridge eth0 ipv6 address eui64 2001:db8:beef::/64
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> aging <time>
MAC address aging `<time`> in seconds (default: 300).
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> max-age <time>
Bridge maximum aging `<time>` in seconds (default: 20).
If a another bridge in the spanning tree does not send out a hello packet
for a long period of time, it is assumed to be dead.
Link Administration
-------------------
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> description <description>
Assign given `<description>` to interface. Description will also be passed
to SNMP monitoring systems.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> disable
Disable given `<interface>`. It will be placed in administratively down
(``A/D``) state.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> disable-flow-control
Disable Ethernet flow control (pause frames).
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> mac <mac-address>
Configure user defined :abbr:`MAC (Media Access Control)` address on given
`<interface>`.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> igmp querier
Enable IGMP querier
Member Interfaces
-----------------
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member>
Assign `<member>` interface to bridge `<interface>`. A completion helper
will help you with all allowed interfaces which can be bridged. This includes
:ref:`ethernet-interface`, :ref:`bond-interface`, :ref:`l2tpv3-interface`,
:ref:`openvpn`, :ref:`vxlan-interface`, :ref:`wireless-interface`,
:ref:`tunnel-interface` and :ref:`geneve-interface`.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member> priority <priority>
Configure individual bridge port `<priority>`.
Each bridge has a relative priority and cost. Each interface is associated
with a port (number) in the STP code. Each has a priority and a cost, that
is used to decide which is the shortest path to forward a packet. The lowest
cost path is always used unless the other path is down. If you have multiple
bridges and interfaces then you may need to adjust the priorities to achieve
optimium performance.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member> cost <cost>
Path `<cost>` value for Spanning Tree Protocol. Each interface in a bridge
could have a different speed and this value is used when deciding which
link to use. Faster interfaces should have lower costs.
STP Parameter
-------------
:abbr:`STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)` is a network protocol that builds a
loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is
to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them.
Spanning tree also allows a network design to include backup links providing
fault tolerance if an active link fails.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> stp
Enable spanning tree protocol. STP is disabled by default.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> forwarding-delay <delay>
Spanning Tree Protocol forwarding `<delay>` in seconds (default: 15).
Forwarding delay time is the time spent in each of the Listening and
Learning states before the Forwarding state is entered. This delay is so
that when a new bridge comes onto a busy network it looks at some traffic
before participating.
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> hello-time <interval>
Spanning Tree Protocol hello advertisement `<interval>` in seconds
(default: 2).
Periodically, a hello packet is sent out by the Root Bridge and the
Designated Bridges. Hello packets are used to communicate information about
the topology throughout the entire Bridged Local Area Network.
Exammple
--------
Creating a bridge interface is very simple. In this example we will have:
* A bridge named `br100`
* Member interfaces `eth1` and VLAN 10 on interface `eth2`
* Enable STP
* Bridge answers on IP address 192.0.2.1/24 and 2001:db8::ffff/64
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces bridge br100 address 192.0.2.1/24
set interfaces bridge br100 address 2001:db8::ffff/64
set interfaces bridge br100 member interface eth1
set interfaces bridge br100 member interface eth2.10
set interfaces bridge br100 stp
This results in the active configuration:
.. code-block:: none
vyos@vyos# show interfaces bridge br100
address 192.0.2.1/24
address 2001:db8::ffff/64
member {
interface eth1 {
}
interface eth2.10 {
}
}
stp
Operation
=========
.. opcmd:: show bridge
The `show bridge` operational command can be used to display configured
