Let VLAN aware bridge approach the behavior of professional equipment
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

The current implementation of VLAN aware bridge is not perfect, and there are various problems in the implementation. Now, let's modify the implementation of VLAN bridge to make it close to professional equipment.

For a discussion of the VLAN aware bridge consensus, see T1354

Implement the following design features

  1. Disable vif 1 configuration
  2. When the VLAN aware bridge is enabled, the parent interface is always VLAN 1
  3. When native-vlan is not configured, the default behavior of the device is native-vlan 1
  4. The VLAN ids forwarded by the bridge are determined by vif
  5. It has an enable-vlan node to enable VLAN awareness
  6. VLAN configuration is allowed only when VLAN aware bridge is activated

The implementation needs to be divided into the following stages:

  • Modify the current implementation to meet the characteristics discussed in the new consensus
  • This change requires modification of the document

VLAN-aware bridge is a special use case. We should design additional special rules for VLAN-aware bridges. This rule should be consistent with the behavior of other routers and switch manufacturers, combined with https://phabricator.vyos.net/ According to T1354, can the following changes be considered:

  1. Maybe we can set set interfaces bridge br1 vlan-aware to activate the VLAN aware bridge function
  2. Set the parent interface and child members of the bridge. When the VLAN-aware bridge is turned on, native-vlan 1 is the default value, unless the native-vlan is manually modified, which means that when VLAN-aware is enabled by default, all Untagged packets are all members of VLAN 1
