Bridging

Bridging is a mechanism to create a single network consisting of multiple devices, such as Ethernet devices and wireless access points. You can also use bridging to create a Vitural LAN switchport bridge. See Create a VLAN using switchport mode for more information about switchport bridging for VLANs.

By default, the TX54 has the following preconfigured bridges:
