Hi all,
I am trying to setup a bridge with 2 interfaces attached to it in Router-1.
Interface-1: eth1 ==> EoGRE Tunnel interface(gretap) connecting to another Router-2 where DHCP server is running.
Interface-2: eth2 ==> Trying to use DHCP to assign IP for this eth2 interface from DHCP-Server running on Router-2.
Basically the setup i am expecting is like:
(eth2)[Router-1](eth1:100.1.1.1) <----------EoGRE Tunnel----->(eth0:100.1.1.254)[Router-2](DHCP-Server)
Following are the setup i did to check the 1st stage to see if the dhcp-discover broadcast is going out of Router-1 over EoGRE tunnel or not. But i am not able to achieve the same.
Can anyone please let me know what is missing here? Thanks in advance.
Router-1:
1) ip link add eogre type gretap local 100.1.1.1 remote 100.1.1.254 ==> created gretap with endpoints.
2) ip link set eogre up ==> brought the eogre interface up.
[root@centos]# ifconfig

3) brctl addbr br0 ==> created bridge interface
4) brctl addif br0 eogre ==> attach eogre interface to bridge
5) brctl addif br0 eth2 ==> attach eth2 interface to bridge
6) sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth2.disable_ipv6=1 ==> disable ipv6 in eth2 just to avoid unwanted ipv6 signalling messages from it.
7) ifconfig eth2 up ==> eth2 iface up with no IP in it yet.
8) ifconfig eogre up ==> eogre iface up
9) ifconfig br0 up ==> Bridge up.
10) brctl show ==>
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces

11) brctl showstp br0

12) dhclient -i eth2 ==> This command triggers a DHCP-DISCOVER broadcast(both l2/l3 broadcast destination addressed) from eth2 and initiate ip allocation process.
Now if i capture packets in wireshark in eth1+br0+eogre interface of Router-1, i don't see the dhcp-discover packet sent from eth2 interface going over EoGRE Tunnel to Router-2.
But the same DHCP-Discover packet i can see if i capture in eth2 interface(obvious reason).
Is it not like whatever packets coming in or originating from eth2 will be bridged to eogre interface using bridge "br0"?
I am using kernel 2.6 in CentOS
Can someone please help here?
