… Physical Bridge Mode When Physical Bridge Mode is enabled on a physical network, all traffic must be VLAN-tagged. External networks with VLAN type None (untagged/native) will not pass traffic on a bridged interface. Adds a warning callout to the trunk mode Virtual Switch Port setup section and a bridge mode info note to the Networking Concepts physical network definition.

@sethesterline — flagging one open question before merging (also sent over Slack): The callout added to Two possibilities:
Which is it? Happy to follow up with edits either way. |

Currently working on reviewing this doc - discussing with development and setting up a test environment to walk through scenarios. I think it may be possible that bridge mode does not actually require all traffic on the interface to be VLAN-tagged --- but a reboot might be necessary after the network is changed to bridged mode. I will work to verify if this is the case or not. |
- Drop the "all traffic must be VLAN-tagged" claim, which engineering disputed; describe the untagged interference as observed behavior - Recommend Tenant Layer 2 Networks (which do not require bridge mode) over legacy Virtual Switch Ports, with migration as the resolution - Fix field name: "VLAN type" -> "Layer 2 Type" to match the UI and the rest of the docs Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think that softens the "required" language while speaking to what we saw in the case.

confirmed that this is not the case and the PR and issue can be closed. |
… Physical Bridge Mode
When Physical Bridge Mode is enabled on a physical network, all traffic must be VLAN-tagged. External networks with VLAN type None (untagged/native) will not pass traffic on a bridged interface. Adds a warning callout to the trunk mode Virtual Switch Port setup section and a bridge mode info note to the Networking Concepts physical network definition.
Closes #461
