What is the maximum number of devices that can be enslaved in a bridge interface? I have tried enslaving 512 devices. Although the brctl tool did not complain while adding them, when I use brctl show command it only shows 255. Thanks

I have a bridge br0, it enslaves two NICs: eth0 and eth1. By using "cat /proc/net/dev ", i can see the Rx/Tx packets and bytes through each interface. just like this: [* time tick 1 *] Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed...

Ahoy, I've encountered some confusing semantics with using PACKET(7) sockets on bridge-enslaved interfaces. Specifically, if my socket accepts all types of frame (bind() to ETH_P_ALL) then it gets all packets; but if it accepts any specific type (e.g. ETH_P_IP), then it receives no packets at all. That is how it's coded in net/core/dev.c's netif_receive_skb(). First ETH_P_ALL handle...

Setting up bonding in active-backup mode 1 (using ARP monitoring) on a server, it looked OK, but pulling the active link cable didn't actually work, it didn't fail over. Eventually with manual playing around with modprobe, ifconfig, ifenslave, etc., a solution was stumbled upon: enslave the eth1 device before eth0, and all is good. Why this should matter is a puzzle - I could not find anything in bonding.txt or on the web about it. I had to change ifup-eth to fix the problem. Any ideas on why the enslavement order matters, or a bette...

Hi all Assume that you have a linux bridge with two interfaces eth0 and eth1 enslaved to this bridge What is the difference between sniffing the bridge and sniffing its interfaces? tcpdump -i br0 vs tcpdump -i eth0 Thanks MiniME -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While it's good to show VF with specific naming to indicate enslavement, I wonder wouldn't it be better to hide this netdev at all from the user space? IMHO this extra device is useless when being enslaved and we may delegate controls (e.g. ethtool) over to the para-virtual device instead? That way it's possible to eliminate the possibility of additional ud...
