Behaving like a switch

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

 



Hello,

I am running Mac OS X Leopard. I would like to perform some
experiments by behaving like a switch. This is the current setup:

[My Laptop] <-----> [Switch] <===(part of a vlan)===>

The switch port to which I am connected to is on a particular vlan.
However, if trunking is enabled on my port, I can see all vlan
traffic.

I would like to configure my laptop so that the default ethernet
device (en0) would be connected to a switch via a trunk line, and all
packets that leave my computer via en0 of a specific type (say, only
ipv6 packets) should be tagged with another vlan-id. The setup should
be such that bidirectional communication is possible.

I have seen that one can setup a vlan virtual device using ifconfig.
But I am unable to setup the policy by which packets are appropriately
forwarded.

Thanks,
