Bridged traffic is not seen by iptables. You need ebtables instead.

Everything intslled without any issue and i am able to enable the bridge and traffic is also flowing without any issue. But i did not see any traffic on the iptables forward chain due to which i am not able to control the traffic. Do i requie enable anything more to make the traffic pass through iptables forward chain. Please look into the configuration ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: tunl0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 3: gre0: <NOARP> mtu 1476 qdisc noop link/gre 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 10: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:07:d9:0d:67:5a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 11: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 link/ether 00:07:d9:0d:67:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 12: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue link/ether 00:07:d9:0d:67:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.10.5.2/24 brd 10.10.5.255 scope global br0 iptables -L -nvx Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 4484 packets, 330543 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 4105 packets, 2046064 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list Bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bridge
