[Bridge] Bridge not working for 2.4.21 kernel

[Leigh Sharpe]

Your switch will forward traffic from N/W1 to N/W 2 without going
through your linux bridge. You should use two seperate switches and
bridge them with your linux box, or segment the switch with VLANs and
forward between them with your linux box.

Subject: [Bridge] Bridge not working for 2.4.21 kernel



Hello All,

Hope someone will address my problem.

I configured my Linux box (2.4.21 kernel) with the
ebtables-brnf-10_vs_2.4.21 patch.

I had installed the bridge-utils package also.

As soon as the I type the following commands, it hangs

#ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0

#ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0

#brctl addbr br0

#brctl addif br0 eth0

#brctl addif br0 eth1

#ifconfig br0 up

The following scenario explains my setup:



Thank in advance.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Suraj
