We want to create bridge(mybridge) eth0 and eth1 on our board which is running linux 2.6.34.9.

Following are the commands:

brctl addbr mybridge ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 brctl addif mybridge eth1 brctl addif mybridge eth0 ifconfig mybridge up

PC-----ETH0-----mybridge--------ETH1

when we ping the board on eth1 ,we are able to receive packet on eth0 (eth0 rx counter increasin

We want to create bridge (mybridge) on our board over eth0 and eth1 interface.

Hello I have Fedora 10 x64 running my NAS box and it's great.

I had a gigabit NIC connected from my NAS to my router and a gigabit NIC connected from my desktop to the router. The problem is my router is only 100mb so transfer rate was slower than it could be.

I would like to bridge between br0 and tap0 for my OpenVPN server, but I get the error at the bottom of this post.

Background

The server have one physical eth0 with IP xxx.xxx.68.58.

The bridge should have xxx.xxx.85.5 and the tap0 NIC, where the OpenVPN clients gets an IP from is in the range xxx.xxx.85.50 - xxx.xxx.85.100.

To make the bridge I do:

#!/bin/bash

br="br0" tap="tap0" eth="eth0:

Dear community,

I have set up my OpenVPN configuration in such a way that I can log in from remotely (via the Internet) to my local network. However, as I am very lazy (problem one), I only want users to use one set of certificates, but forcing them to log in with their own username and password that is on an LDAP server somewhere within my local network.

[ubuntu] Bridged interfaces... 45 weeks 5 days ago

Hi all,

I have the following issue: Server123 with 3x NICs: eth0 - mgmt eth1 - Router eth2 - Wireless AP br666 - Bridge eth1 eth2

I'm trying to bridge eth1 with eth2 with no IPs...The intention is to break the link between Router <---> Wireless AP, so Router is plugged in to eth1 and Wireless AP to eth2.

Purpose - real-time in-line IDS monitoring installed on the Server123

I have 2 wireless interfaces, one real (eth1) and one virtual (vt0), running on top of the same physical wireless adapter. Both have separate IP address spaces.

eth1 is connected to a laptop, and vt0 is connected to another system over p2p.

I cannot ping any system on the p2p system from the laptop as there is no bridging over eth1 and vt0. How do I achieve this?

I have a bridge set up between eth0 and br0, the bridge works fine, but sometimes, for unknown reasons and circumstances, I keep getting these off vethXXXXXX interfaces added to the bridge.
