Comware: Port Link-mode Bridge vs Port Link-mode Route

Some HP L3 Switches Comware based, brings the concept of “switchports” as Bridge and Route mode.

The Bridge mode (port link-mode bridge) works the same way that any other access Switches.

When using Route mode (port link-mode route) the port is converted into a layer 3 interface, which need an IP address.  All STP messages will be ignored.

Example

#
interface GigabitEthernet4/0/1
port link-mode route
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
#
interface GigabitEthernet4/0/2
port link-mode bridge
port link-type access
port access vlan 2
#

就应用场景上，H3C官方论坛里名为gsl760的网友总结得非常好，一针见血的感觉。

把端口用在vlan里用bridge,如果你不想把端口放在vlan里又要用到IP选route
