How do switches bridges and VLANs work together?
Using VLAN & Bridge Ports or groups of ports in a VLAN are called VLAN members. Switches are interconnected by the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) port so that VLAN traffic can cross multiple switches. A Layer-2 switch is basically a bridge. Both switches and bridges allow multiple ports to be active simultaneously.
How do I route traffic to a VLAN?
The simplest way to enable routing between the two VLANs to simply connect an additional port from each VLAN into a Router. The Router doesn’t know that it has two connections to the same switch — nor does it need to. The Router operates like normal when routing packets between two networks.
What is the bridge mode on a router?
What is bridge mode? Bridge mode is the configuration that disables the NAT feature on the modem and allows a router to function as a DHCP server without an IP Address conflict.

How to forward traffic between VLANs with iptables?
This Linux should act as the L3 router as well. VLAN 10 on interface eth1.10 with subnet 10.10.10.0/24 VLAN 20 on interface eth1.20 with subnet 10.10.20.0/24 VLAN 50 on interface eth1.50 with subnet 10.10.50.0/24 VLAN 100 on interface eth1.100 with subnet 10.10.100.0/24
How does inter VLAN bridging on Cisco work?
Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions. Inter-VLAN bridging on a router that uses the same STP as the L2 switches results in a single STP instance for every VLAN that is a member of the same bridge. By default, all Catalyst switches and routers run the IEEE STP.
Why does the MSFC not pass the VLAN bridge BPDUs?
Since the MSFCs do not pass the IEEE BPDUs from the switch, each VLAN on the switch runs separate instances of IEEE STP. Therefore, all ports on the switch are in a forwarding state. The switches pass the VLAN-bridge BPDUs from the MSFCs. Therefore, a VLAN interface on the non-root MSFC goes to blocking.
Can a network switch bridge two VLANs at once?
None of the switches within the defined group will bridge any frames, not even broadcast frames, between two VLANs. Several key issues described in the following sections need to be considered when designing and building switched LAN internetworks:
