"Bridging" tokenring and ethernet

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

 



Hello everybody!

I've got a question.
I need to bridge a tokenring segment with an ethernet segment.

I know that that's possible (with static addresses on the tokenring segment) 
by using iptables and forwarding rules and by putting the ports in promiscous 
mode. So packets from an tr host going NOT to an tr host would be forwarded 
to eth, and vice versa.

Is there a better solution to that problem?

I believe the bridging code in the kernel works only with ethernet interfaces.
(I also remember the keyword RARP - reverse ARP - but haven't looked yet how 
to activate that. is there a rarpd?)

Any help is appreciated!


Regards,

Phil
