Hello all, I would like to know if it is possible to have 2 bridge instances running - one for the internal network and the other for the external network. What I need to explain is that I need the internal bridge to go though the Linux Kernel and pass its packets to the external network bridge. I am also hopeful that the internal network bridge will not need an IP address as I am hoping to

Hell everyone, I am wondering if any of you had backported bridge driver to kernel 2.4.x? Thanks! Hai -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/attachments/2005110= 7/b0e0c092/attachment.htm

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! I have some problems with an bridge between wlan0 and eth0 device... It works and I can from both sides ping the router with the bridge device but I cant ping the devices from other net so I cant ping wlan devs from eth net and other way around the wlan card is an atmel usbw11 from linksys and eth is a intel e100 10/100mbit nic I have configured the bridge according to the how to and

I have a bridge that has gigabit interfaces. The machine in question has the fun job of being a Bridge, Firewall and SMB server. Both of the Gigabit interfaces are connected to workstations directly via Xover cable (well MDI-X to be exact). My question is, if I enable jumbo frames on the gigabit interfaces will that make any difference in overall transfer rate of the bridge? I was thinking it

Sorry, if this question has been answered before, but I could not find out with a brief look. How can I set the MAC address for a bridge? The MAC address given for the bridge device seems to be the one it sends network packets with if the bridge device has an IP address set. Apparently the bridge starts with a zero MAC address and when the first interface is attached to it, it takes its MAC

Hello, i need to write a little personal patch in the bridge code. For this patch, i need to know the original src and dst mac addresses of the packet incoming to the bridge. As i work on a brouter (some packets are bridged, some are routed based on ebtable rules), packets that are routed have their mac addresses modified by the IP stack). I put a software probe in br_input.c::br_handle_frame( ),

Hi, I have 2 servers which are connected to a gateway machine. The gateway and one server are running Linux 2.6.16.2, while the third machine is running 2.6.16.5. The two ethernet ports on the gateway which are connected to the servers are combined into a single ethernet bridge device. Ever since 2.6.16, I have noticed that I can no longer cross-mount the two servers' /home directories via

If I try to ifup eth0, I get the following: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

Replace the existing mac hash in the bridge code with the nice inline jenkins hash. This should provide better distribution across hash buckets and compiles to code that is similar in complexity.

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 -

Hi Stephen, there was a bug in bridging bonds. multicast packets needed for 802.3ad netif_carrier_ok() were dropped. attached patch works for me.

Hi everybody. Do you know about any way to read the TCP cwnd value (congestion window) on Linux? I have read that on Linux it is not possible to enable a socket option (to read to cwnd using the program trpt). Any way to read the cwnd would be good for me. thanks Antonio

I compiled the latest 2.6.19 kernel and tested it with two 3COM 3c905c fast ethernet interfaces which work fine with vlan 802.1q tagging, but when I have added the eth0 and eth1

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, Is there any particular reason why the same physical port cannot be added to multiple bridges? Is it because of STP? If I am not using STP - can I change the code to have the same physical port in 2 VLANs? Is that a safe change? Thanks, Abhijit
