L2 Bridge Configuration: HIF-EMAC Only (No EMAC-to-EMAC Forwarding)

[minJ]

Hello.

I am configuring an L2 bridge on the S32G3.

In a master-slave setup, I am using the L2 bridge so that the slave can also receive packets.

In my L2 bridge configuration, hif0, hif1, hif2, hif3, and emac0, emac1, emac2 are all connected to the bridge.

To prevent broadcast storms between emac interfaces, I registered the broadcast MAC address as a static MAC.

However, when all ports are connected to LAN cables or a switch, IGMP messages are generated infinitely.

To prevent this, I set Multicast miss to DISCARD, but then all multicast packets are dropped.

To solve this, I want to configure an L2 bridge where only HIF and EMAC are connected, and there is no direct connection between EMACs.

Also, I do not want to register the PC's MAC address as a static MAC, and I do not want to use promiscuous mode or VLAN.

Below is my L2 bridge configuration.
