Hi, good morning:

 I am having some problems trying to set a vlan with
the Bering rc4 distribution. I going to explain what I
did it and how, to see if anyone can find the problem
or the mistake, because I think I am following the
documentation pretty good.

  First I am gonna describe the situation of the
project. I have to computers, we will call them
BridgeA and BridgeB, which I wanna run as bridges.
Each computer has 3 Ethernet NICs. To apply vlan
support to the bridgeA and bridgeB I install in each
one the package vlan.lrp (wich provides the command
vconfig) and the module 8021q.o. Them to support the
bridge funcionality I install the the bridge.lrp
package and the bridge.o module.

them in each of these computers I do this:

First I assign an IP address to each NIC
BridgeA
eth0 10.0.1.1
eth1 192.168.1.1
eth2 192.168.2.1

and I set them up with the command Ifconfig
Ifconfgi eth0 up
Ifconfgi eth1 up
Ifconfgi eth2 up
(To do this I had to install netutils.lrp because ifup
didn�t seem to work)

so I did the same in bridgeB

eth0 10.0.1.2
eth1 192.168.1.2
et2 192.168.2.2

and I set them up with ifconfig again.

So now in each of the briges I create the Vlans

vconfig add eth0 10
vconfig add etho 20
vconfig add eth1 10
vconfig add eth2 20

so now I have the interfaces
eth0.10 eth0.20 eth1.10 and eth2.20
 so I set them up again with ifconfig like
ifconfig eth1.10 up

So now I only have to create the bridge

brctl addbr Orense
brctl addif Orense eth0.10
brctl addif Orense eth0.20
brctl addif Orense eth1.10
brctl addif Orense eth2.20

and I set the bridge up
Ifconfig Orense up

(as you can see I use the interfaces eth0 of each
bridge to connect them in a backbone between the two
machines)

so then conected to the eth1 of the bridgeA I have a
computer with a NIC that has an IP address
192.168.1.12 and conected to the eth1 of the bridgeB I
have another NIC with 192.168.1.14.

As I see it has to work, doesn�t it? but If I do a
ping from 192.168.1.12 to 192.168.1.14 I can see the
other side. I only can reach the machine I am conected
directly (because the IP address) but not using the
bridge and VLAN technology.

Can anyone tell me why or what I did wrong?

It works if I do the bridge with the phisical
interfaces eth0,eth1,eth2... but the porpuse of this
project is using vlan and a bridge so... I don�t know
what is wrong here.

Thank�s for your help falks, I will be checking my
mail to see if anyone has the answer to this.

Bye
