Configuring a Layer 2 Virtual Switch with a Layer 2 Trunk Port
You can associate one or more Layer 2 trunk interfaces with a virtual switch. A Layer 2 trunk interface enables you to configure a logical interface to represent multiple VLANs on the physical interface. Within the virtual switch, you configure a bridge domain and VLAN identifier for each VLAN identifier configured on the trunk interfaces. Packets received on a trunk interface are forwarded within a bridge domain that has the same VLAN identifier. Each virtual switch you configure operates independently and can participate in a different Layer 2 network.
A virtual switch configured with a Layer 2 trunk port also supports IRB within a bridge domain. IRB provides simultaneous support for Layer 2 bridging and Layer 3 IP routing on the same interface. Only an interface configured with the interface-mode (access | trunk) statement can be associated with a virtual switch. An access interface enables you to accept packets with no VLAN identifier. For more information about configuring trunk and access interfaces, see the Junos OS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.
In addition, you can configure Layer 2 learning and forwarding properties for the virtual switch.
To configure a virtual switch with a Layer 2 trunk interface, include the following statements:
 | Note: You must configure a bridge domain and VLAN identifier for each VLAN identifier configured for the trunk interface. |
