Can you bridge two LAN ports (on the same router) that use different Gateway IP addresses?

One edit to my post.  I meant to say that I would like devices on the bridged-pair br0 which includes ports 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 to communicate with devices on Port 8.

Thanks - Jay

Hi,

you don't actually have the two networks bridged, you have them separated by a firewall rule, so yes that will work.

rfcat_vk - thanks so much for the quick reply.

When I try to bridge the two networks (i.e., Port8 to br0) I am unable to do so, the only port that appears an option to interface with is Port2 which is the WAN Port.  If I add Port8 to the br0 bridge, I am able to do so, however it loses its unique Gateway IP of 10.150.21.1 and goes to 192.168.1.1.

I suspect I did not fully grasp your response (too new at this) :).  

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

You can’t add the extra port to the bridge with it configured, but your lan rule will. basically do the same thing. All traffic will be able to access each device on any port.

Ian - 

Thanks so much for sending me down the right path.  Here is what I ended up doing:

I set up a new Zone with the only member being Port8

Port 8 is also an Interface separate from the br0 (bridge) interface which has Port 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 as members.

Then I set up two firewall rules.  One to allow traffic between the WAN and the Zone associated with Port 8 and one to allow traffic between the Zone associated with Port 8 and the LAN Zone

That did the trick.
