Hi Mike,
That was an interesting idea. Didn't worked however.

Now, if I try what I think should be logical
ifconfig vlan2 create
ifconfig vlan2 vlandev dc0
ifconfig vlan2 up
brconfig bridge0 add vlan2 up
This is completely untested, but what about this?
# cat /etc/hostname.dc{0,1}
up
up
# cat /etc/hostname.vlan{2,1002}
up vlan 2 vlandev dc0
up vlan 2 vlandev dc1
Here I assume here a typo and it would be
# cat /etc/hostname.vlan{2,1002}
up vlan 2 vlandev dc0
up vlan 1002 vlandev dc1
As you can't have the same vlan with two different parent?
But this would assume the packets would have the header tag with vlan
1002, to enter no?
The use of vlan1002 however is for fddi, witch is not the case here, but
was an idea I didn't think of.
I even try, just in case the other 3 standards one, witch I didn't think
would work, but worth the try:
1002 fddi-default
1003 token-ring-default
1004 fddinet-default
1005 trnet-default
# cat /etc/bridgename.bridge0
add vlan2 add vlan1002 up
But even if that would have worked. It would have assume the packets
coming on dc1 would have had the tag 1002 for them and converted to tag
for vlan 2 crossing the bridge, with I sure don't think it the process
isn't it? I may be missing something here in my understanding of it, if
so, fell free to correct me as I would love to fill the gap this would
create.
But the real question is that I should be able to do this right?
I keep beating it without success so far, but if that's not possible to
do I would love to know it so that I don't loose what's left of my hair! (;>
Thanks for the interesting suggestion never the less. It was worth the
try, to sad that it didn't work.
If you get any other ideas, they are welcome.
I am somewhat stuck.
In bridge mode, all traffic pass but i can't isolate each vlan to filter
on them witch I am trying to do.
Best,
Daniel.
