Subject: Using a bridge for DSA and non-DSA devices
Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2022 19:15:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2269377.ElGaqSPkdT@n95hx1g2> (raw)
Usually a bridge does forwarding of traffic between different hardware
interfaces in software. For DSA, setting up a bridge configures the
hardware in a way that traffic is forwarded in hardware.
Is there any problem combining these two situations on a single bridge?
Currently I use a bridge for configuring a DSA switch with two DSA slave
interfaces. Can I add a non-DSA device (e.g. an USB Ethernet gadget)
to this bridge?
regards
Christian
