On Router 1:
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> add address=10.10.10.1/24 interface=test
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
0 10.0.0.204/24 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.255 ether1
1 10.20.0.1/24 10.20.0.0 10.20.0.255 pc1
2 10.10.10.1/24 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.255 test
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address>
On Router 2:
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> add address=10.10.10.2/24 interface=test
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
0 10.0.0.201/24 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.255 ether1

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address>
If it set up correctly, then it is possible to ping Router 2 from Router 1 and vice versa:
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> /ping 10.10.10.1
10.10.10.1 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=3 ms
10.10.10.1 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=4 ms
10.10.10.1 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=10 ms
10.10.10.1 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=5 ms
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 3/10.5/10 ms
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip address> /ping 10.10.10.2
10.10.10.2 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=10 ms
10.10.10.2 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=11 ms
10.10.10.2 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=10 ms
10.10.10.2 64 byte pong: ttl=255 time=13 ms
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss

General Information
Summary
MAC level bridging of Ethernet, Ethernet over IP (EoIP) and Atheros wireless interfaces are supported.
All 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g client wireless interfaces (ad-hoc, infrastructure or station mode)
do not support this because of the limitations of 802.11. However, it is possible to bridge over a wireless
link using the
WDS
feature or
Ethernet over IP protocol
.
For preventing loops in a network, you can use the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). This protocol is also
used for configurations with backup links.
Main features:
•
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
•
Multiple bridge interfaces
•
Bridge associations on a per-interface basis
•
MAC address table can be monitored in real time
•
IP address assignment for router access
•
Bridge interfaces can be filtered and NATed
•
Support for brouting based on bridge packet filter
