Subject: bridge interface type
To: [email protected]
I created bridge1 this way:
$ sudo ifconfig bridge create
Password:
bridge1
$ ifconfig bridge1
bridge1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 02:32:c8:92:b6:01
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15
maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 100 timeout 1200
root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 0 ifcost 0 port 0
but when I try to look at the interface via "struct sockaddr_dl",
sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *) ifa->ifa_addr;
sdl->sdl_type is "IFT_ETHER" for that interface.
Shouldn't it be "IFT_BRIDGE"? What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Hiren
