Hi,
This shouldn't be very hard. First, you should make sure that every
network interface shows up in 'ifconfig' (eth0, eth1, ..., eth19).
Second, you must make sure you have the bridge-utils package (there are
precompiled Red Hat packages, and for other distributions you can download
the tarball and compile it yourself). Then, assuming you want all the
interfaces to act as a single switch (with a single virtual LAN)
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# brctl addif br0 eth1
# brctl addif br0 eth2
...
# brctl addif br0 eth18
# brctl addif br0 eth19
cheers,
Lennert
