Dear All, I have been running various versions of EFW for years with great results.
I have come across a situation a couple of times where I need to accommodate more zones than the 4 supported out of the box (red, green, blue, orange). I've searched through the mailing list and forums at length. The question has been asked a few times without definitive answers that I found. There was one comment about using brctl to do this or something like this but not sure if that was successful. Essentially what I need to do is add additional zones treated similarly to green. All zones need to share the same external IP and ideally separate dhcp scopes are available on each zone (as they are with blue and orange). It seems that perhaps this can be done by adding one bridge per interface with brctl and then assigning the appropriate IPs to each interface. Not sure if NAT will work immediately and what needs to be done to get dhcp working on those zones. I have poked around the /var/efw files a bit with this in mind and I suspect it's possible however I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has done this, tried this, or has any idea about doing this. As another point related to this, I have an efw installation I just upgraded to 2.3 which has 6 physical interfaces. The two extra interfaces (eth4 and eth5) beyond the 4 supported listed above are assigned as green. Thinking I could work on this remotely, I physically connected the extra 2 "green" interfaces to the same network as as the actual green interface (eth0/br0) however this was done the entire efw became inaccessible on all interfaces. Not sure why that would be either. Would be very interested in any thoughts on that as well. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/additional-zones-treated-like-green-or-add-zones-manually...-looking-for-any-comments-or-ideas-tp28146398p28146398.html Sent from the efw-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
