If the addresses are unused, why do you want to route them?
As soon as new machine is inserted, layer 3 bridging code will "see" it.

Hi Vladimir,
Sorry.. What I meant was the range of ip addresses that were not in use per "2." below. I guess I don't really care what method is used to get the thing working. The best solution would be if the point to point link were a transparent bridge. This would be a lot simpler. Have you, or anyone else, been able to get a link working that way?
BTW: I'm nearing completion on the network config library for the command line interface. I'll send it to you for your review when the code is complete.
Thanks, Gerry

What do you mean by "full block of available addresses"?
Another alternative is to VTUN. It will allow you to setup an Ethernet tunnel between two boxes. The drawback is the overhead (each Ethernet frame will be encapsulated into IP packet).

Hello All,
I have come across a bit of a routing challenge. I need to do a point to point link with 2 wisp-dist boxes. Here are the specifics.
1. The wireless nics in the wisp-dist boxes do not support promiscuous
mode
making a layer 2 bridge impossible. 2. The network currently has x.x.x.1-x.x.x.10 and x.x.x.250-x.x.x.254 in use. 3. The CPEs are getting addresses via dhcp within the available range.
I would like to setup a proxy arp bridge, but I need to route the full
block
of available addresses. The wisp-dist boxes need to act as a transparent bridge. I assume I could set up subnet for the three blocks of addresses, but I'm no routing wizard. Does anyone have any suggestions?
