You do not want the "switch" interface type. "bridge" is the one you need for what you're asking to do, but... >> Of course an alternate would be to link the 1GbE switch to the 10GbE >> switch and do things that way, but the above would be more practical >> from a cabling sense. ...that alternative is the real answer. Using bridge for this will be a mess (you haven't mentioned PF yet but configuring that will be a pain) and won't perform particularly well. With bridge, I *think* you will want to bridge the vlan interfaces together, not the trunk interfaces.
