I have read several articles for setting up a network bridge.
My configuration is:
WorkStation --> Switch0:VLAN1 --> Switch1:VLAN1 --> bridge -->
Switch1:VLAN45 --> Laptop
I am running CentOS 4.3 on the bridge
#> brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.0030843e5aa2 no eth1
eth2
I followed the instructions at :
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8172
I can't ping the laptop nor can the laptop ping my workstation. I put
an IP on br0 and tried to ping out and got nothing. tcpdump shows no
traffic except for an arp request from the laptop.
Was I supposed to recompile my kernel? I saw at least one article that
recommended recompilig the kernel with a couple of config changes. I
have the latest stock 2.6 kernel RPM installed.
Do I need to do any special configuration on the switches like setting
the port to do port monitoring or anything like that? Its a Cisco 2900
switch.
Any help would be appreciated.
