Hi all, I'm looking for documentation about the internals of the bridging software. We're putting together a new chip that incorporates, among other things, a core for a managed switch and a processor that will be running Linux. I wanted to have the Linux code (among other things) field SNMP requests and configure the managed switch. I'm hoping that it's as simple as

Hiyas, Is there a patch for the 2.4.x series to do ip6tables bridging of IPv6 packets? I was unable to go to 2.6 due to issues with large packets so still living in 2.4 land. If there are no patches, any ideas on what gets patched in IPv4 to allow this bridging? -Scott __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages!

Hi all, I'm new to the world of bridging and the mailing list but I am hopeful my initial problems are fairly trivial. I am running the Honeynet Project's rc.firewall script at boot time (on my Sparc running Aurora) but the script is having trouble establishing the bridge. In my logs, I have found the following error: tSIOCSIFADDR : No such device eth1: unknown interface: No such

Hello, I how an embedded processor that needs to act as a bridge between a wireless and wired network. I have managed to bring up the bridge fine. I can also bring up the bridge with a static ip address. However I can not figure out how to bring up the bridge with a dynamic ip address. Is it possible to for a bridge to get a dynamically assigned ip address? Oliver

Hello, I have an issue with ebtables --arp-opcode and vlan support on the bridge. Ebtables support --arp-opcode witch is used for arp manipulation. ebtables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p arp --arp-opcode Request -j arpreply --arpreply-mac 10:11:12:13:14:15 --arpreply-target ACCEPT -i eth1 But it does not work when Ethernet frame comes tag with vlan pid. Can i overcome this limitation? Fanks

lists.linux-foundation.org seems to be funtional now, so I guess it is as good a time as any to update the MAINTAINERS file. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> --- There are still some http links to osdl.org, but I'm not sure if they should be updated, and if so, what they should be updated to.

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.

Hi, please Cc: all replies, I'm not subscribed I seem to have troubles with my Linux bridge (2.6.8-rc2), which is apparently not bridging UDP fragments (NFS) when passing packets through iptables, but I do not see in the iptables stats where the packets are dropped. Policies for INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT are all "ACCEPT", and I grepped for all REJECT and DROP rules in iptables -nvL,

Dear Sir or Madam: I just wondered how many interfaces at most can be added into one Linux Bridge. Thanks!

Hi all, I try to reduce the time of link break detection for the STP. I want to make a timer who detect a link failure within a few times instead of waiting max age timeout. The problem is that my timer isn't take in account by the bride and i really don't know why, can someone help me ? Here's what I've done : in file br_stp_timer.c : /* called under bridge lock */ static

Hi, All: I am tring to use STP function on bridge device that refer the BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO. And I use PING program to test it from PC1 to PC2. But the forward function is become too long when bridge topology change. How can I tuning the STP to make client connect to another again faster? I have been use follow command. But it seen not this issue. Bcause, if I run " arp -d " on

Hi everybody, Just have myself added into the maillist. I have a few linux boxes with Kernel 2.6.9. Each box has 2 ethernet interfaces, one 3COM, one Intel. I connected one with Power Line Modem, and one with Wifi Modem. They form a nice network with bridge. I have a few questions here. Suppose I have two path from box A to box D, which path will packets go through? If I want to monitor the

Hi, I've been running RH 7.2 with a kernel-2.4.9-13brnf0.0.3 for a very long time and works just fine. A couple of weeks ago I thought I'd install a new fresh installation with rh9 and load the bridge module that comes with the rh kernel ( 2.4.20-24.9 ). The bridge itself works just fine but the firewalling dont. There is no packets passing the FORWARD chain... Have I missed something

Hello, I am running into a strange problem here. I wrote you a mail earlier also regarding this. 1. I am trying to run the bridge mode over Redhat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18). I tried the latest version of brdige mode utility and also I tried version 0.94 as well. But whenever I run the brdige mode on this kernel - the kernel goes panic saying "aiee - killing interrupt handler". Now I am in a

Hello, Due to a recent change in the bridge code, we now need a way of knowing if a packet has been defragmented. The bridge code now checks on the packet size and drops packets that are too big for the output port. Defragmented packets will get refragmented later, so they shouldn't be dropped. I've been reading the defragmentation code and can't find an easy way of knowing if a

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

Add a new constant ETH_P_802_3_MIN, the minimum ethernet type for an 802.3 frame. Frames with a lower value in the ethernet type field are Ethernet II. Also update all the users of this value that David Miller and I could find to use the new constant. Also correct a bug in util.c. The comparison with ETH_P_802_3_MIN should be >= not >. As suggested by Jesse Gross. Compile tested only.
