I am sorry for the newbie question. I am working with SUSE 9.2 and I have followed the instructions at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-Bridge-netfilter-HOWTO-4.html I have gotten my bridge to work flawlessly, but I can't figure out how to get the bridge to come up after a reboot. Any help or pointers to docs that will get me going in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Scott

I'd just add the bridge commands to your etc/rc.local file. -----Original Message----- From: bridge-bounces@lists.osdl.org [mailto:bridge-bounces@lists.osdl.org] On Behalf Of Scott Ellerbrock Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 6:07 PM To: bridge@lists.osdl.org Subject: [Bridge] How to keep bridge up after reboot I am sorry for the newbie question.

Sorry, I shouldn't try to answer questions w/o my first cup of coffee. On SUSE most ppl seem to create a script in /etc/init.d/ then put a symlink pointing to it in the runlevel rc you're using. A quick who -r should tell you which runlevel you use (typ runlevel 5) So in /etc/init.d/ create a file called bridge #!/bin/sh brctrl addbr bla... brctrl addif bla... whatever else... make it executable: chmod 700 /etc/init.d/bridge put a symlink in /etc/init.d/rc5.d: ln -s /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S99bridge /etc/init.d/bridge That should be it. Check the YaST runlevel editor to be sure. -----Original Message----- From: bridge-bounces@lists.osdl.org [mailto:bridge-bounces@lists.osdl.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Hemminger Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 3:00 PM To: Scott Ellerbrock Cc: bridge@lists.osdl.org Subject: Re: [Bridge] How to keep bridge up after reboot On Thu, 5 May 2005 16:06:59 -0600 Scott Ellerbrock <sellerbrock@saferent.com> wrote:> I am sorry for the newbie question.
