[leaf-user] Gigabit Router/Switch

[Greg Morgan]

The local computer store has some gigabit ethernet cards on sale. I was wondering if I could buy say three of these cards and create a high speed gigabit switch with either Dachstein or Bering?

If I take the bottom range of the static list of IP addresses reserved for servers in the LEAF world i.e. 192.168.1.200, 192.168.1.201, and 192.168.1.202, then I think I would be able to make the gigabit router/switch.

This is a new area for me so I'd like any pointers people can provide me. One area that looks like I should try is bridging http://bridge.sourceforge.net/docs/bridge.html. But where would proxy arp come into play?

I am looking through the Dachstein network.conf file and http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/cstein/files/packages/network.txt.

IPFILTER_SWITCH=router
IPFWDING_KERNEL = NO

It sounds like this should be turned off.
IPALWAYSDEFRAG_KERNEL = NO

Thanks,
Greg Morgan
