XG 125W - use other ports as switch

Hi El,

Greetings.

You have the answer  inside your question! If you want to use two physical interface on a similar subnet you need to Bridge them.

Please refer the link to configure bride pair between two interfaces on XG.

Hope that helps:)

Thank you that helped.

What noone (no video or no document) tells you tho is that you cant bridge an interface you are currently logged in from.

So if you are trying to bridge Port 1 and Port 3 you cant be logged in from port 1 or you will keep getting some generic error message.

You need to bridge 3-4-5-6-7-8 first, give it an IP. log via that new IP and only then you can add port 1

Shame to see something that is supposed to better than SG to be just so much worse in every possible way.

Hi,

Unfortunately with XG, you cannot bridge an interface through which you have logged in. This is possible with SG.
