Quick setup
...
In this example, we will create a Controlling Bridge (e.g. a CRS317-1G-16S+ switch) that will connect to a single Port Extender (e.g. a CRS326-24G-2S+ switch) through an SFP+1 interface.
First, configure a bridge with enabled VLAN filtering on a CB device:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
/interface bridge
add name=bridge1 vlan-filtering=yes |
On the same device, configure a port that is connected to the PE device and will act as cascade port:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
/interface bridge port-controller
set bridge=bridge1 cascade-ports=sfp-sfpplus1 switch=switch1 |
On a PE device, simply configure a control port, which will be selected as an upstream port:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
/interface bridge port-extender
set control-ports=sfp-sfpplus1 switch=switch1 |
