I got in touch with our development team and ask for bridging support of cifx0 interface. I received the following response:
As in this article mentioned at https://iomem.com/archives/4-Ethernet-Br...Linux.html an interface supporting bridge mode needs to support promiscuous mode among others. The cifx0 interface and the underlying netX controller firmware does not support the promiscuous mode. This means any try to let cifx0 be part of a Linux bridge will fail.
I am sorry to have no better news for you. Supporting promiscuous mode is not possible with Hilscher's netX network controller.
Thx
Armin
