similar to: [Bridge] Re: 4 port ethernet card bridge question

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

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.

Scratch that last comment. The kernel code I have now is identical to what I posted.

Pavel, you may be interested in my work on Cisco HDLC bridging: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=108802311131855&w=2 I have used it with the bridge driver (in 2.4) without any problems (yet ;)), and I am sure Krzysztof Halasa, the HDLC maintainer, would be thrilled if you managed to port it to a recent version of the kernel and make it a compile-time option. Oh, it also

Hi, I'm not sure if this is apprriate or not, but here goes anyway. The patch below updates MAINTAIER address Individuals (Only Andrew :): osdl.org -> linux-foundation.org Lists: osdl.org -> lists.osdl.org I assume the latter will change at some stage, but at least with this change the osdl/linux-foundation lists are consistent.

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

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

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.

I am battling an issue with use of bridging with xen. For some yet undetermined reason supposedly relating to stp, they assign a mac address of fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to the bridge. Was hoping someone here may be able to elaborate on that. If I enslave a bridge to an ethernet, and than restart that network interface, should the bridge operation behave the same after the ip interface is restarted?

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

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

Hi all, Can someone tell me where to find source code for RSTP for linux 2.6 kernel? Thank you in advance. -Marc.

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 -

From: Evgeny Kravtsunov <emkravts@openvz.org> compare_ether_addr() implicitly requires that the addresses passed are 2-bytes aligned in memory. This is not true for br_stp_change_bridge_id() and br_stp_recalculate_bridge_id() in which one of the addresses is unsigned char *, and thus may not be 2-bytes aligned.

This is the 2.4 version which incorporates the observations from Kishore about 2.6.

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( ),

I'm truly sorry, but I get paid to work with 2.4. My employer understands the value of giving back to the open source community, and this is what we have at the moment.
