There are three common topologies that can be deployed with Layer 2 Bridging:

Bridging One Subnet.

Action: Bridge one InfiniBand subnet to one IP subnet.

Bridging Multiple Subnets

Action: Bridge multiple IB and IP subnets across one gateway.

Bridging Multiple Subnets across a single port

Action: Bridge using VLAN tags and multiple subnets.

The following procedure describes the first topology: (bridging one subnet); this topology includes the
following main steps:

creating a bridge-group for a non-tagged Ethernet port.

creating a bridge-group that uses the default pkey.
For information regarding configuring bridge-ports for tagged Ethernet ports, or for configuring
more complex topologies, refer to the Ethernet Gateway User Guide.

Layer 2 Bridging Procedure

Refer to the Ethernet Gateway User Guide for more options and more detailed steps.
