I wouldn't expect it to forward them, either. DHCP requests are normally addressed to 255.255.255.255, which should not be forwarded. Do you have an IP address configured on br0 or br1? If you don't, then you can just "ifconfig br0 down". If this makes a difference, then it at least proves that br0 is responsible for forwarding the request, for whatever reason. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
