How to "bridge" ports?
Hi guys.
I'm not sure if wording I'm using is correct, but in layman terms - how on PC62xx (or any Dell switches if this family is not capable) - if possible at all - ports can be bridged/linked in such a manner as if you had two Ethernet cables joined with a coupler?
many thanks,
P.

Hello @lejeczek,
I guess you are not referring to the creation of a VLAN, right? How to create VLANs on a Dell Networking PowerConnect Switches
https://dell.to/3z5EXRv
What OS are you using? will you try to do it via GUI or command line?
Regards.

Whichever way it can/must be done.
Not sure about VLAN, perhaps in a way yes.
I doubt I can do any better that that simple analogy - joining two cables, usually when they are too short, via a coupler, but here, via a switch - so two ports are such a coupler, or in other words - make a "tunnel" on possible lowest level electrically, informationally, between two ports.
I'd presume what I lack technical vocabulary to describe must be such an old dilemma that world of "networks" has looked into it and resolved long time ago.
many thanks, P.
