Hi, I'm using setup 1b from the vlan FAQ. Eveything is working fine, except one thing. I'd like to be able to communciate with my switches through the bridge, not thought eth0. Currently to communicate with them i have to explicitly: route add ip eth0 The switches in question are Cisco 2950's. I believe that all management traffic should operate on Vlan 1, but when I add vlan 1 to my bridge I still have to use eth0 not the bridge to communicate with them. Does anyone have any experience of this ? Many thanks Piccalo Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
