[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
