Solved: Re: CSS with one leg

The CSS installation I've inherited is working fine load-balancing web content to the outside world.

It has one physical ethernet connection but NO interface definition statements and only 1 circuit defined - vlan 1 - with a single IP address.

I'd really like to know how this setup works, but can't find it explained in ANY of the manuals...

by default, all physical interfaces are in bridge vlan 1.

This is why it works.

If the circuit vlan was using a different vlan id than 1, you would have to configure a physical interface to be in this particular vlan.

Thanks for that. Now I understand. How did you discover it - thought I'd looked everywhere.

I'm just a software engineer for the CSS and after 4 years working with this product, I learned a few tricks :-)
