Layer-4 Bridging and Filtering

Security Configuration

If you use a SmartTRUNK in a with Layer-4 Bridging VLAN, the RS maintains the packet order on
a per-flow basis, rather than per-MAC pair. This means that for traffic between a MAC pair
consisting of more than one flow, the packets may be disordered if they go through a SmartTRUNK.
For traffic that doesn’t go through a SmartTRUNK, the per-MAC pair packet order is kept.

ACLs applied to a network interface (as opposed to a port) do not have an effect on Layer-4 Bridged
traffic, even though the interface may include ports used in Layer-4 Bridging.
