Hi all,
Having a 4 NIC server, I want to bridge eth2 and eth3, with a bridge named br0.
Searching the web I only found about creating a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0, but did not find where to explicitely list what ports will be bridged.
Where is it configured?
Thank you.
All packets appear on both interfaces, unless you use ebtables/iptables to restrict them.
Really? Only hubs present packets to all interfaces. Linux work as a router not a hub.
A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. In Ethernet networks, the term bridge formally means a device that behaves according to the IEEE 802.1D standard. A bridge and a switch are very much alike; a switch being a bridge with numerous ports. Switch or Layer 2 switch is often used interchangeably with bridge.
