Hi all, I am planning to implement a device driver for a switch chip in Linux. It supports more than 20 ethernet ports. Currently I am thinking of a concept how this could fit correctly in the Linux network architecture. The simliest way would possibly be to export all the ports as individual device nodes (eth0 to eth23) and let the current bridge run ontop of theses nodes. But still there would be some work to do: - disable somehow the forwarding (since this is done already in the hardware) - do some hardware related stuff on port states chnages.
Any comments? Am I thinking towards the correct direction? Thanks in advance, Georg Klug _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
