[Bridge] Bonding 2 interfaces and channeling the output to a bridge interface
Hi all, I have a Debian Linux machine having 3 network interfaces (eth1, eth2, eth3). What I want to do is to make eth1 and eth2 as bonded interface (bond0) with Active Fail-over. Next I want to add eth3 and bond0 (eth1 and eth2) interfaces as a bridge. The reason for the above config is because I have 2 physical links in layer 2 (Trunkports). Only 1 of the physical links can be used at the same time. These links are connected to my Access Points but only 1 link can be used at a given time. Link1 ------> eth1 (bond0) eth3 (br0) -------------> Wifi Access Point Link2 ------> eth2 (bond0) eth1 and eth2 -->bond0 br0 will bridge eth3 and bond0 Can Active Fail-over with the 2 physical links be achieved using the setup above? Any suggestions will be great. Thanks, Tek
