Re: [Astlinux-users] WAN Bridge interface

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Michael,

It would be a special case where you would want the WAN to be a bridge interface.

How is the WAN interface's IP address defined?

I'm not sure how your two WAN trunks are routed to your bridge interface.

But, if a 2-port ethernet switch would work, so should a 2-interface linux bridge.
