similar to: where can I find source code of bridge control utility (brctl).(bridge-utils-0.9.5.tar.gz)

I noticed that when I type brctl - it does insmod when the bridge module is not loaded. Where can I find the code (in the brctl or libbridge code) which does that? Thanks, Abhijit

Hi All, I am implementing IGMPv3Snoop and want to add its control to "brctl command" just like "brctl stp ...". Please guide how can I do so. Also, it would be of great help is anyone suggests me where should I get source code of "brctl" utility from. One of the links ( http://bridge.sourceforge.net/bridge-utils/bridge-utils-0.9.5.tar.gz) I got after extensive on

So, I'm setting up my first bridge, and I'm running into an interesting issue. I have a 4 port NIC (formerly 4 seperate /29 and /28 LANs) and an onboard NIC (to my ISP). I've setup the bridge using the script included at the bottom of this email (modified from Gentoo for Aurora). When the WET11 (the WET11 is a simple ethernet to wireless bridge) is unplugged, the bridge works

Package: xen-utils-common Severity: normal When setting (network-script network-bridge) in the xen config, restarting xen will result in error messages like: /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge: line 219: brctl: command not found /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge is part of xen-utils-common which doesnt depend or recommend the bridge-utils package which contains brctl.

Hello You must add first: vlan (tagged) to eth2 eth2 interface is not tagged by default and not know vlan-s . It is like a cisco if you have 24 ports in cisco by default all ports are in vlan1. if you want to do trunk (with vlans) you myst add (vlans) to this ports (tagged or untagged) So you can compare that all interfaces in linux by default are in one vlan(but not tagged). (only for

I've got a 2.6.8 kernel with bridging enabled as a module, two nics (LNE100TX and RTL8139) and i've run the following commands with no errors modprobe -v bridge brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 both interfaces have 0.0.0.0 as their addresses and brctl showmacs br0 shows the macs for both internal cards. However, bridging doesn't seem to be working at all.

<I apologize if this arrives twice... I sent it first from an non-subscribed address, don't know if that'll get to the list or not --JJ> Hi folks, I have an implementation question regarding bridging on a linux box between a catalyst trunk port and a cisco 26something w/802.1q subinterfaces. So right now, there's no vlan trunking going on on the link my bridging firewall sits

Hi, I had successfully setup my bridge (br0) but after few minutes the br0 interface seems not working. ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth5 0.0.0.0 brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth5 brctl stp br0 on I check on my system's /var/log/syslog file. It shows something strange messages as below: - Jan 2 10:44:22 fw01 kernel: ipt_tcpmss_target: bad length (64 bytes)

Hi, I've been encountering some problems with bridging under linux 2.6.12-9 (ubuntu Breezy Badger). Apologies for the newbie-ish email: problem is likely a config issues, but docs appear to be sparse and I can't find much reference to the problem/solution on the 'net; trial and error really isn't working... Am attempting to bridge an offsite network to the central

[desktop] ----- lan ----eth0 [notebook] eth1 192.168.?.? ` ----- wlan ---- [speedport(hub and router)] -- internet 192.168.2.x So on my laptop I have eth0 beeing lan, eth1 beeing wlan ethernet card. When only using eth0/1 everything is fine. Now I want to be able to use internet from both [desktop] and [notebook]. Typically you set up a bridge with

Hello, I am a student considering participating in Google Summer of Code program. I came across Stephen Hemminger's idea of implementing a RSTP posted on http://developer.osdl.org/dev/soc/ and found it interesting. In attachment there's my proposal, which I just submitted to google. Please share your comments. -- tadeusz andrzej kad?ubowski -------------- next part --------------

Hi All, I am using Linux 2.6.15 kernel. I want to create 4094 bridge interface but I am able to see only 32 bridge interfaces with the help of "brctl show". I am able see other interfaces into /proc/net/dev but brctl is not showing more then 32. It is also not allowing any operations (add/del) over those interfaces. Is it correct behaviour or I have do some changes in some settings.?

Hi I intent to use brctl to bridge two devices on linux box. One is eth0, the other is USB net which is recognized as usb0 by linux box. Then I run following command # ifconfig eth0 down # ifconfig usb0 down # brctt addbr ipbr # brctl addif ipbr eth0 # brctl addif ipbr usb0 # ifconfig eth0 up # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 # ifconfig usb0 up # ifconfig usb0 0.0.0.0 # ifconfig ipv6 up

With recent 2.6 kernels, the command brctl delbr br0 hangs during shutdown, and the kernel prints this message again and again: unregister_netdevice: waiting for br0 to become free. Usage count = 1 I was able to reproduce this problem with several kernels between (and including) 2.6.9-rc1 and 2.6.11-rc2-bk9. I haven't tried later versions than 2.6.11-rc2-bk9 yet. 2.6.8.1-bk2 still works

Here is the scenario: I have one server with kernel 2.4.24 with a bridge br0 made of 2 interfaces, eth0 and tap0 (the last is an OpenVPN tunnel), and one remote computer connetting through tap0. If I assign a static IP to the remote computer, the bridge works perfecly (so I think the problem is not OpenVPN-related). If I start a DHCPd on the server and I configure the remote client to get the

Hi, all, I am a newbie. i wish to add another ioctl into brctl for doing some manipulations. How do i do so?? Please advise on the steps. Regards, Munro

Santiago, I appreciate your offer. I'm not really a kernel hacker, however I do know C and I would be willing to try if you point me in the right direction. Here is my first attempt using Debian running on an UltraSPARC: debian{root}:/root<512>strace -f -F -v brctl addbr br0 execve("/usr/sbin/brctl", ["brctl", "addbr", "br0"], [/* 16 vars */]) =

(originally filed as a bug in Fedora's bugzilla, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=171933) Greetings, Using Fedora Core 4 on a Dell PE 420sc. Malfunctioning kernel is smp-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4. Properly functioning kernels included smp-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4. Network performance is extremely poor when using bridged network interfaces. When not using brctl, the interface

Here is the proposed revision to the bridge utilities interface to the kernel. The driving force is that the existing interface can't easily be converted to 32/64 bit compat. Right now, the bridge-utils (brctl) tries to handle 32bit command on 64 bit kernel, but the code is limited to sparc and wrong. Here is what I am thinking. get version - not needed? get bridges -
