Below is my topology. [image: topology.JPG] Without switch the bridge configuration works fine and two machine ping each other. As I configure bridge on two machines connected through switch, there is no successful ping between machines. without configuring the bridge the both machines ping each other. pinging stops as i add eth0 of any machine to open vswitch bridge. Please note that FC 13 means fedora core 13 and the network is same with network mask 255.255.252.0.
