So packets are > coming to layer2 only . Indeed, by default (i.e. no brouting) packets received on a bridge port are intercepted by the bridge. This is the intended behaviour of a bridge, isn't it ? Thus a bridge port is not supposed to be assigned an IP address (or be used by any protocol), because the IP stack (or any other upper protocol layer) won't receive any packet directly from it but from the bridge interface (which should have the IP address). >I applied the below command and every thing > seemed to work exactly like connecting eth0 and eth1 to hardware hub . > > ebtables -t broute -P BROUTING -j DROP I strongly doubt it. This rule forces routing of all packets instead of bridging, so IIUC it effectively totally disables bridging and you are back to two independent interfaces. -- 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
