Property | Description |
|---|---|
| bridge (name; Default: none) | The bridge interface where ports will be extended. The Controller Bridge will only enable when bridge and switch properties are specified. |
| cascade-ports (interfaces; Default: none) | Interfaces that will act as cascade ports. |
| switch (name; Default: none) | The switch that will act as the CB and ensure the control and network traffic. The Controller Bridge will only enable when bridge and switch properties are specified. |
After CB and PE devices are configured and connected, each PE device will be automatically visible on the device menu, use print and monitor commands to see more details.

List of available configuration properties, monitoring options. Neighbor discovery changes (how PE and CB discover each other using LLDP TLVs, on PE control-ports discovery is automatically enabled and disabled on extended ports (they get controlled by the CB settings), on CB cascade ports discovery is automatically enabled), automatic bridge port configuration, how to apply and remove (device remove, port remove, other settings where an extended interface is configured will stay and should be removed manually) the configuration for extender ports (PE can even be disconnected and still apply configuration on CB), extended port naming, ECP protocol for control information between PE and CB.
