Hi All, Very sorry for posting my question again, because I want to tell you
more details on my issue, and it is very important for us! Now I am having
trouble in Ethernet bridge and 802.1Q VLAN, I have the following network: Internet | Gateway ( One UPNP device) | | <--------- If insert one Ethernet bridge box
in here , somethings changes | H u b ( one
normal hub or switch , no VLAN settings) | \ | \ D-Link 802.1Q VLAN Switches (their
uplink port—port 1 connected
to the upper hub are tagged, those ports connected with PCs are untagged). Our client PCs
connect to these VLAN Switches, they access Internet through that UPNP gateway,
It works all OK; Every PC connects to one untagged port in a 802.1Q VLAN Switch
, this untagged port and the tagged
uplink port (e.g. port 1) make up of one VLAN, the tagged port 1 is a common uplink
port , So from the gateway we can see these VLAN ID of PCs; but when I insert one Ethernet bridge
box ( one linux box, kernel 2.4.26, ebtables-brnf-6_vs_2.4.26
patch) between the gateway and the Hub, somethings
changed: I was not able to log in hotmail,
maybe also on certain websites. For example, I access www.hotmail.com, it loads OK. When I input
my account, and hit Login, it goes to a error page(DNS
error or server not found) after a
moment. Except the above
site, maybe also have others, but most sites work fine, very strange! I am sure that
this Linux Ethernet bridge is only transparent bridge, no any Iptables filter and rule. If I have no this
Ethernet bridge, it works fine, no hotmail login error. If I remove the
tag for VLAN(just change the port 1 to untagged), also with this Linux Ethernet bridge it
works all OK, also have no hotmail login error. Very strange, it as if the
issue is on VLAN , tag, or Linux Ethernet bridge , I have no idea of it now! I am stuck here
now! Any help,
comments, hints would be greatly appreciated! If you need more
info on it, please let me know soon! Thanks! Note: The UPNP box
can act as a universal gateway for these PCs under it, no matter what their IP
are, maybe a dynamic IP, or any fixed IP. Kingz |
