Re: Redirecting ports in a bridge

Ok, to me logging is recording information and filtering is either allowing traffic to pass or not. Based on your original post it sounds like you are wanting to do some re-direction of traffic too. Is this correct?

Yes. We are logging and filtering right now, but we want to redirect traffic too.

The bridge can not be totally transparent and change things at the same time. If you are having the bridge change things, the network will operate differently with it in verses out of service. Please clarify what you are wanting.
The point is we want the bridge to be transparent except for one particular redirection we want to do :-)

Remember that IPTables operates on layer 3 and EBTables operates on layer 2. So unless you have your kernel configured to do such, IPTables will not see layer 2 traffic. So, either you need to use EBTables (preferred in my opinion) or you need to configure your kernel so that IPTables sees layer 2 traffic.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try with EBTables, then.

Regards.
