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 m...

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

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

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...

I can think of several potential differences. ?You may miss any bridge specific traffic (STP, LLDP) using the interfaces generated by the bridge itself. If you have vlan tagged sub interfaces you might also miss that traffic if you were snooping a particular interface. Obviously you will miss any on-wire broadcast traffic specific to the layer1 connection a particular interface was connected to

Hello, I am working on Network-Simulation (VNUML). Our simulator uses linux bridgi= ng to connect the UMLs. So there is one problem: The example is the following: There are two hosts simulating one big net. The two hosts have connection over the external nets Net3 and Net6 (see htt= p://www.uni-koblenz.de/~timbub/verteilteSim3.GIF), but in fact there is onl= y one physical connection between the
