Um...bridge newbie question coming up.... ebtables is new to me. I did a google on it and found some good info. I have not found a direct comparison on what ebtables does different from iptables or ipchains. I noticed there could be per user settings.
I'm continuing to google, but does anyone know of such a page of comparison? I've found the Home page and sourceforge page. Either I'm not diggin enough in them, or they are to vague for me. Basically looking to see if I should change my bridge / firewall code to this from ipchains. -----Original Message----- From: Narendra Prabhu B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 10:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Bridge] bridge & ebtables & iptables hi, thanks ppl for ur help ..... yesterday Tino Keitel replied for my query and the his solution worked... now i have different trouble.... i am using iptables and am using bytelimit to shaping traffic... ( FORWARD chain in filter table).. as i cant mark packets when using ebtables. when i add a rule like #iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.59 -m bytelimit --rate 100000 -j DROP # no error here..... when i say #iptables -L the command doesnt print anything after FOWARD ..... i check this thru libiptc program(borrowed it from the libiptc docs) to list all the chains.. then it says .... "Cann't find match 'bytelimit'" .... another thing #iptables -nvL prints properly .... whats happening here ? does it have to do anything with bridge or ebtables ? pls help... thanks for the consideration, bye naren ------ In the middle of difficulty..... lies Opportunity.
