bridge on colinux: need to configure bridging in kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi:

I’m trying to setup dynamips to simulate some cisco routers in ubuntu and I need to bridge the router interface out of the linux NIC (so two virtual routers hold by 2 linux can talk), and it looks I need this fancy bridge tool, but…

When I install the bridge-utils and start to configure a bridge, it reports the following error:

# brctl addbr br0

add bridge failed: Package not installed

 

read through the document and realize I probably need to “configure Ethernet bridging into my kernel”, here is my kernel version:

root@ubuntu-1:/home/ping1# uname -r

2.6.22.18-co-0.7.4

 

So , yes I’m using colinux (running on top of winxp), but I don’t think that should be the root cause, problem is now how do I “configure Ethernet bridging into my kernel”?

Sorry this may sound a stupid question for experts but I’m not an export of linux so that sound real hard and dangrious for me , any step-by-step suggestion on that?

 

Thanks!

 

Regards/ping
