I have worked trhough getting bridging working, using a manual startup file, and now I'm ready to set it up to come up autmaticly when the systems boot.
I see that I need to create a bridgename.bridge0 file, but I'm still puzzled by exactly what should be in it. Here is my manual start file for oen end. ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig gif0 create ifconfig gif0 tunnel 205.159.77.110 205.159.77.111 ifconfig gif0 up brconfig bridge0 add gif0 add nfe0 brconfig -blocknonip stp nfe0 brconfig bridge0 up Interface nfe0, and the 205.x interface are brought up by hostname.x files. Would this be the format I need for the bridgename file? create gif0 create gif0 tunnel 205.159.77.110 205.159.77.111 gif0 up add gif0 add nfe0 -blocknonip stp nfe0 up Ican't seem to find a man page for gif.if, so I'm assuming that I can't set up the gif interface using that, bt need to do it in the bridgename.x file. Do I need to use shell escapes to do the gif setup? 4.0, if it matters. -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. (Dennis Ritchie)
