Hi,
What is wish to do is
There are four interfaces here
PC1---------------------| br0
|if0-------------------if2| br1 | ----------------------PC2
|
|if1------------------- if3| |
br0 and br1- are two transperent bridges on separate devices.
if0 and if1 are two physical interfaces(ports) attached to each of the
bridges on either side.
What i intend to do is to redirect all traffic coming towards br0
from PC1 through interface/port if1, even if the source mac is learnt
through if0 and the same on the other bridge br1 on the other device.
Similarly, any traffic coming from PC2 has to go through if2 instead
of if3 before it enters br0. So in all, what i want to do is make the
link from br0 to br1 full duplex if the physical links are half-duplex.
Regards,
Munro.

Hi, all,
I wish to copy over fdb(forwarding database entries) learnt over from
one interface onto as they are from another interface.
Like for eg :
brctl showmacs br0
port no mac addr is local? ageing timer
1 00:30:1a:01:6f:e4 no 0.46
1 00:30:1a:1c:3d:b7 yes 0.00
2 00:30:1a:1c:3d:b8 yes 0.00
Instead of the above in line 1 if i wish to forcefully add mac "
00:30:1a:01:6f:e4 " from port 2 instated of port 1.
Do i need to create a separate ioctl for it from the brctl to the kernel
code or is thier some provision for doing it.
Regards,
Munro.

Why? What reason.

Since all enhancements can be 2.6 only,
I would prefer a sysfs interface to an ioctl to do this.
You can add a store/write interface to /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/brforward
file. The creative part is figuring out what the semantics should
be and getting the locking right.
