==Bridge Configuration ==

ZeroTier bridge configuration will allow 2 (or more) LAN's in the same Zerotier network to be interconnected. For this example we will use two RUTX routers. Both of these routers should already have ZeroTier package installed and be connected to the ZeroTier Portal.

*From the '''''Bridge to''''' dropdown menu select '''''LAN'''''. This extends the network by forwarding traffic between LANs. Bridges operate at the data link layer and facilitate seamless communication between devices on different LAN segments

*From the '''''Bridge to''''' dropdown menu select '''''LAN'''''. This option bridges The ZeroTier interface with the device's LAN interface, which extends the network and allows for Layer 2 communication via ZeroTier.

*Make sure to turn off '''Auto-Assign from range''' from the '''advanced section'''. This is because, when In ZeroTier network LAN bridging with Layer 2 bridge, managed IP addresses are not necessary because ZeroTier interfaces do not possess individual IP addresses. Instead, Layer 2 bridging allows for direct communication between devices using their local MAC addresses, eliminating the need for IP address management.  

*Make sure to turn off '''Auto-Assign from Range''' in the '''advanced section'''. Since this is a Layer 2 bridge configuration, there is no need for IP addresses on the ZeroTier Interfaces and managed IPs. With Layer 2 bridging, devices communicate directly using their local MAC addresses, eliminating the necessity for IP address management.

*In the '''Advanced section → Managed Routes,''' add the LAN network route (in this case,192.168.1.0?/4), twhichensures connectivity between Zthe eroTier network and the local LAN. This allows devices in the ZeroTier network to communicate with devices on the local LAN.

 

*In the '''Advanced section → Managed Routes''' add the LAN network route(in this case,192.168.1.0?24), this ensures connectivity between ZeroTier network and the local LAN. This allows devices in the ZeroTier network to communicate with devices on the local LAN.
