Hello everybody. Im trying to setup an bridge between WLAN and LAN on my Asus 500gP.
So well I thought its just a bridge so I don't assign any IPs -
neither to the interface assembling the bridge nor the bridge itself.
And I was suprised that the bridge was assembled but not brought up:
[... snipp ...]
# bridge LAN and WLAN
auto br0
iface br0 inet manual
bridge-ifaces eth0.0 eth2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ip link show
[... snipp ...]
8: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
link/ether 00:1b:fc:57:b3:be brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[... snipp ...]
Both interfaces of br0 are brought up.
But if I assign a IP to the br0 interfaces (not tested if I
assign a IP to one of the interfaces of the bridge)
[... snipp ...]
# With an IP address:
# bridge LAN and WLAN
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge-ifaces eth0.0 eth2
address 172.16.211.127
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast +
The br0 interface is brought up:
[... snipp ...]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ip link show
8: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
link/ether 00:1b:fc:57:b3:be brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[... snipp ...]
So a bridge is a Layer 2 connection of several interfaces why do I need
to assign a IP ?
So if there is anyone out there to give me some enlightment on this case?
Thanks for your help,
Andreas.
