Hello, I' new in this and i was searching for something that could solve my problem. I am doing a network with several terminal machines ( this have IPs) and to connect all i have a layer 2 network made by computers that are going to route the traffic using MPLS. I need to know, in this middle computers, the neightbours MAC to build the path between the terminal machines ( that have IPS). My problem is that ARP need to associate a MAC to a IP, which i do not have in this middle computers. So i was wondering if ebtables could help me build a "arp" table, i.e., the computer PC2 that is connected to one final terminal PC1 ( that has an IP) sends back to the network, in broadcast, a specific frame with is own PC2-MAC, and the terminal PC1 MAC-IP pair. The PC3 listen to this frame and stores that the route to the IP of PC1 is using PC2. PC3 does exactly the same and so on. PC4 does the as PC2 when PC5 connects to it. I want to know if ebtables could help me build specific frames and how to send them to the network and how to catch them. EX.: PC1----------PC2--------PC3------PC4--------PC5 (MAC/IP) (MAC) (MAC) (MAC) (MAC/IP) If someone could help me i would appreciated. Thank you and sorry for the bad spelling english. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
