Assuming you have eth0,1,2,3,4,5 and eth0 is the external interface you would something like this: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth1 brctl addif br0 eth2 brctl addif br0 eth3 brctl addif br0 eth4 ifconfig br0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig br0 up enabling forwarding: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward or sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding="1" I'll assume you have NAT or direct routing in mind and know how to do that... _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
