Hi, I'm heavily working on a filtering bridge with FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE...
First I tried to configure the host (a HP DL380) with three interfaces: fxp0 and fxp1 for bridging (without ip-addresses) and bge0 for ssh-access with an ip-address - this does not work so far because ipfw obviously cannot get the tree interfaces managed right (but that's not my last word on this... :-) After I gave up on this, I tried with only two interfaces (bge0 and bge1) where bge0 also has an IP-address. After much try and error I got it working, but the configuration is more complicated than I expected. The central point is, that I first have to configure the various interfaces (bge0 up, bge1 up, vlan0/IP and vlan1) and afterwards may configure the bridge, i.e. set 'net.link.ether.bridge.config=....'. This means that on a filtering bridge you can't use /etc/sysctl.conf for bridge configuration because /etc/rc.d/sysctl is executed before /etc/ rc.d/netif and in this order it doesn't work. Short question: Is this intended behaviour and public knowledge? Should a /etc/rc.d/bridge be added? -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette <msch [at] snafu.de>, Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at <pgp.mit.edu> and <wwwkeys.de.pgp.net> ID: 0xDDFB0A5F _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
