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 ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
