Hello,
I know this is not the best list for this but since the plan of this bridge
is to use shorewall maybe some one can help me on this issue
I have set up a bridge with the following script that starts after the
network interfaces are started
BRIDGENAME="BRQ"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
BRIDGE_IP="192.168.0.122"
BRIDGE_NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
STP_ON="yes"
STP_PRIO="1"
RETVAL=0
start() {
echo "Starting service bridge"
ifconfig eth2 promisc up
ifconfig eth3 promisc up
brctl addbr $BRIDGENAME || return=$rc_failed
brctl addif $BRIDGENAME eth2 || return=$rc_failed
brctl addif $BRIDGENAME eth3 || return=$rc_failed
ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0 || return=$rc_failed
ifconfig eth3 0.0.0.0 || return=$rc_failed
brctl sethello $BRIDGENAME 1 || return=$rc_failed
brctl setmaxage $BRIDGENAME 4 || return=$rc_failed
brctl setfd $BRIDGENAME 4 || return=$rc_failed
brctl stp $BRIDGENAME $STP_ON
brctl setbridgeprio $BRIDGENAME $STP_PRIO
ifconfig $BRIDGENAME $BRIDGE_IP netmask $BRIDGE_NETMASK up
ip route flush cache
ip route add default via $GATEWAY
But the problem i have is that i am not able to contact the bridge on its IP
192.168.0.122 i am running Centos 4.4 on a 2.6.18 kernel, i have tested this
setup on 3 different sets of network cards tg3, b44, via-rhine and in all of
them i have the same results no connection, i know the bridge is working
otherwise packets couldnt flow on the network, im using bridge utils 1.0.4-4
Shorewall is still not running.
If any one knows what could be wrong??
Thanks
