Subject: Re: Bridging-(How to test and verify that bridging is enabled)
Hi,
Are you using properly crossed cables?
Isnt it enough check for the that two linux can ping each other..
Yes and no. You must used crossed Ethernet cable between your FreeBSD
bridge and each of your Linux boxes.
Frankly i am not sure about the cables type but they works PC to PC connectivity.
As someone suggested, what is ifconfig saying on the FreeBSD box? You
should see that both sk0 and sk1 have a status: active. Else it means
you have a cable problem.
sk0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500
options=b<RXCSUM, TXCSUM, VLAN_MTU
ether 00:0a:5e:1a:69:25
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex, flag0, flag1, flag2>)
status: active
sk1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500
options=b<RXCSUM, TXCSUM, VLAN_MTU
ether 00:0a:5e:1a:67:ee
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex, flag0, flag1, flag2>)
status: active
here is the ifconfig output for the bridge interface:
bridge0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=b<RXCSUM, TXCSUM, VLAN_MTU
ether 0a:54:d7:7e:aa:66
inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priortiy 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15
maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 100 timeout 1200
root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0
I think ifconfig bridge0 should list member interfaces. Did you add them?
