Hi, All: I am tring to use STP function on bridge device that refer the BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO. And I use PING program to test it from PC1 to PC2. But the forward function is become too long when bridge topology change. How can I tuning the STP to make client connect to another again faster? I have been use follow command. But it seen not this issue. Bcause, if I run " arp -d " on PC1 and the reply will be immediately. Or if I run one ping from PC3 to PC2 (PC3 didn't have PC2 arp entry). The PC1 will also get reply immediately. Does any one know what's problem? /usr/sbin/brctl setbridgeprio mybr 0 /usr/sbin/brctl sethello mybr 1 /usr/sbin/brctl setmaxage mybr 4 /usr/sbin/brctl setfd mybr 4 /usr/sbin/brctl stp mybr on Two bridge machines are install with linux-2.4.26 and use the ebtables patch (ebtables-brnf-6-vs-2.4.26). Network environment: PC1 --------- Bridge 1 ---- PC2 |----- Bridge 2 ---| PC3 ---- Very thank for your help Regards, Matt.
Hello, I can't figure out how to set up several IP addresses on bridge interface in Debian way. Server - Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.7-1-k7 Interfaces - br0 ( eth0, eth1 ) ------------- /etc/network/interfaces.conf --------------- auto br0 iface br0 inet static address X.X.X.X netmask X.X.X.X network X.X.X.X broadcast X.X.X.X gateway X.X.X.X bridge_ports eth0 eth1 ---------------------------------------------------------- It works fine. I need to add unroutable ip address on bridge interface. I doubt, adding new bridge interface - this is the right way to do it. ---------------------------------------------------------- auto br1 iface br1 inet static address 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 bridge_ports eth0 eth1 ---------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please CC all replies, i'm not subscribed. Aleksey
