'interface IP parameters' 'additional IP-s' 'VLANs (tagged)'

Bridge interfaces

Join two or more interfaces to the same layer

• STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) - Used to add redundant links to network while ensuring loop-free topology.

Serial PPP interfaces

Any serial interface can be configured to act as an ethernet interface, TCP/IP traffic is sent over serial PPP line
