-Enable VLAN-aware bridge
--------------------------
+VLAN
+====
-.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member> native-vlan <vlan-id>
-
- Set the native VLAN ID flag of the interface. When a data packet without a VLAN tag enters
- the port, the data packet will be forced to add a tag of a specific vlan id. When the vlan
- id flag flows out, the tag of the vlan id will be stripped
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member> allowed-vlan <vlan-id>
-
- Allows specific VLAN IDs to pass through the bridge member interface
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member> allowed-vlan <n-m>
-
- `n` and `m` represent a VLAN ID, which identifies a VLAN ID range and allows all VLAN IDS in this range to pass through the bridge member interface

-VLAN (802.1q) configuration
----------------------------
-
-IEEE 802.1q, often referred to as Dot1q, is the networking standard that supports
-virtual LANs (VLANs) on an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network. The standard defines a
-system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be
-used by bridges and switches in handling such frames. The standard also contains
-provisions for a quality-of-service prioritization scheme commonly known as IEEE
-802.1p and defines the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.
-
-Portions of the network which are VLAN-aware (i.e., IEEE 802.1q conformant) can
-include VLAN tags. When a frame enters the VLAN-aware portion of the network, a
-tag is added to represent the VLAN membership. Each frame must be distinguishable
-as being within exactly one VLAN. A frame in the VLAN-aware portion of the network
-that does not contain a VLAN tag is assumed to be flowing on the native VLAN.
-
-The standard was developed by IEEE 802.1, a working group of the IEEE 802
-standards committee, and continues to be actively revised. One of the notable
-revisions is 802.1Q-2014 which incorporated IEEE 802.1aq (Shortest Path Bridging)
-and much of the IEEE 802.1d standard.
-
-802.1q VLAN interfaces are represented as virtual sub-interfaces in VyOS. The
-term used for this is ``vif``.

+ :var0: bridge
+ :var1: br0
-.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> vif <vlan-id>
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member>
+ native-vlan <vlan-id>
- Create a new VLAN interface on interface `<interface>` using the VLAN number
- provided via `<vlan-id>`.
+ Set the native VLAN ID flag of the interface. When a data packet without a
+ VLAN tag enters the port, the data packet will be forced to add a tag of a
+ specific vlan id. When the vlan id flag flows out, the tag of the vlan id
+ will be stripped
- You can create multiple VLAN interfaces on a physical interface. The VLAN ID
- range is from 1 to 4094.
+.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces bridge <interface> member interface <member>
+ allowed-vlan <vlan-id>
- .. note:: Only 802.1Q-tagged packets are accepted on Bridge vifs.
+ Allows specific VLAN IDs to pass through the bridge member interface. This
+ can either be an individual VLAN id or a range of VLAN ids delimited by a
+ hyphen.
