Help please, My goal is to create a bridge to do traffic shaping for a subnet. I am trying to create a bridge following the Linux Foundation sample setup in a VMware CentOS guest OS (before the router) using the commands: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth1 down ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.167 The problem: A flood of ARP requests from the Vyatta machine (10.244.2.19) looking for the DNS Server (10.244.2.1) on the upper network shuts down the entire network.

Do virtual terminals still work (Alt+F2, Alt+F3, ...)? If yes, then you're not receiving a dhcp response and your dhclient is configured with a long timeout. If no, then one of your kernel modules is hanging your system. Include the output of "uname -a" and "lsmod". > > Thanks, > joy > > _______________________________________________ > 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
