I installed Fedora 8 from the Live CD image on an HP DL320 server and set it up in a data center to do mail relay. Now I need to bridge the two network cards in the server to act as a switch, while still having it act in the mail relay role. For some reason, I can't get this to work properly.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 has: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes TYPE=ethernet /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 has: DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes TYPE=ethernet I ran: yum -install bridge* -y to install the bridge utilities, then I ran: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 ip link set br0 up ip addr add 10.1.1.52/24 brd + dev br0 route add default gw 10.1.1.1 dev br0 Now I when I check ifconfig, it shows that eth0 has gotten an IP address in our DHCP range, as well as br0 having the ip address 10.1.1.52. Also, the computer connected to eth1 cannot ping the router on eth0. It gets a message from 10.1.1.52 that the destination is unreachable. Any ideas? Should I be going about this a different way? Let me know if I need to post additional information. I'm still fairly new to Linux, so you may also need to tell me where to look to find said information. -- Nat Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
