Just like to say I have installed a bridging box at work in a commercial environment (ISP/ content provider). Very well done, handles a great amount of traffic very nicely, and seems extremely stable.
-> stockstandard redhat 7.2 install, with pretty much nothing selected. -> updated modutils and tcpdump. Stuck in snort. -> installed the redhat RPM's from the download page at bridge.sourceforge.net Within 10 minutes of installing and downloading all code, I had it up and running. Took me a little bit to realise I had to turn on the interface with "ifconfig drawbridge on" (I didnt see that anywhere in the documentation I had read). Will have to endeavour my exact documents when I have the rest of the box sorted out. So far been in operation for a week under full network load (ie it sat between two machines which were looping portscans and large traffic transfers between them). Thats a lot more load than it will see on our internet link (I can only dream of a 100mbit connection to the net). Runs very nicely on a p233/64mb ram with 2 NIC's. It just works. All up, 30 minutes to have the bridging working.(including install and dnloads) Not a single hitch with any of the firewalling or logging setups. --> Big pat on the back for Lennert, you have once again proved the domination of Linux. And once more, I can say to my boss "dont spend the big bucks on big hardware and expensive software, spend it on me". Which means if you ever need a beer, and you are in Perth, West Aussie, I will provide. _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
