Hi list, my questions again. I hope someone will answer ...
I'm new to bridging and linux (started last march), so please don't
flame me, if I'll ask silly questions :o)
I do have the following network configuration (255.255.0.0 is netmask in
the complete network):
10.1.x.x - clients
| | | | |
eth0 eth1 ------- | | | | |
------------ T-DSL------------ 100BaseTX | | | | | | |
| Internet |------| Firewall |------------| HUB |-----------------------
------------ ------------ | | 10.1.0.0 |
dynamicIP 10.1.1.1 ------- |
|
10.1.2.1 | eth0
-----------
| Server |
-----------
10.2.2.1 | eth1
|
10.2.0.0 1000BaseT |
-----------------------------------------------|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
10.2.x.x - clients
It's working quite well, but the additionally 10.2.0.0 network increases
administration (routing tables at the firewall, etc.) and causes trouble
with windows clients and their workgroups.
I'm using RedHat7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10 from RH7.2 distribution on the
server.
First I installed "bridge-utils-devel"-rpm, "bridge-utils"-rpm for RH7.1
and "gbrctl-0.0-1.i386.rpm". Then I did a reboot (I also tried the
sources).
The network was up and working well.
I made "ifconfig eth0 down" and "ifconfig eth1 down".
Then "ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up" and "ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
promisc up"
ifconfig showed expected values.
Then I tried to set up the bridge with the gui and also by hand.
modprobe -v bridge
brctl addbr bridge
brctl show -------> everything seemed to be OK
brctl addif bridge eth0
brctl addif bridge eth1
brctl show -------> everything seemed to be OK (eth0 and eth1 were
shown at "bridge")
ifconfig bridge 10.1.2.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
ifconfig -------> "bridge", "eth0", "eth1" and "lo" were shown
with correct ip, netmask, etc.
eth0 and eth1 were displayed with "forwarding"(after short period of
"learning")
ping 10.1.2.1 worked, but no connection to the to networks ...
Did I do anythig wrong?
Do I need any of the kernel patches (I only want it working for now,
security and so on to be done later ...)
Might there be problems with the two (eth0 and eth1) 1000BaseT NICs
(Allnet 0124, NS83820 supported by kernel module)?
Thanx
Rene
