Hi,
i have setup a bridge which has 5 ethernet ports. 2 of the ethernet ports are on
board and 3 are on add boards.
The 2 ports on the ethernet PMC are eth0 and eth1. The onboard ethernet ports
are eth2 and eth3. There is a FPGA on the board that has the other ethernet
port.
I would like the root port of the bridge to be eth2 instead of eth0. Is there a
way to set it up. I am using the following script from
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO.html
 
 
When I enter ifconfig the bridge shows an ip address of 192.168.100.5 the mac
address listed is the address of eth0.
What I need is to have the ip address listed on the mac address that is on eth2.
 
Please let me know if there is a way.
