Hi all, I work on a SOC based on AMCC/glacier based on PPC460GT. ( http://WWW.AMCC.com <http://micrel.com/page.do?page=product-info/sys_on_chip.jsp>) This component has 4 network interfaces. Every one is connected to a PC. eth0 =>192.168.1.11 eth1 => 192.168.1.22 eth2 => 192.168.1.33 eth3 => 192.168.1.44 I want to make a bridge with these 4 ports #brctl addbr br0 #ifconfig br0 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 #ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up #ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up #ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0 up #ifconfig eth3 0.0.0.0 up # brctl addif br0 eth0 # brctl addif br0 eth1 # brctl addif br0 eth2 # brctl addif br0 eth3 #brctl stp on but my problem is that when I used the PC(which IP is 192.168.1.11/24) to ping other PCs, the ping reply time from 192.168.1.22 was about 1000ms; the ping reply time from 192.168.1.33 was about 0.2ms; the ping reply time form 192.168.1.44 was about 300ms; Why? and how to configure the 4 ethernet-ports glacier board to be a bridge or switch correctly? thanks a lot.
