Hello everyone: I am trying to set up a easy configuration using a bridge with Vlan Support, but I am having a few problems with it and I donīt know why. Letīs see if you can help me out here.
Here I show you the configuration ------- - PC1 - ------- - eth0 192.168.1.127 - - - - eth0 (No IP address) (eth0.10 for the vlan) ------- - br0 - ------- - eth1 (No IP address) (eth1.10 for the vlan) - - - eth0 192.168.1.129 ------- - PC2 - ------- What I am trying to get here is set a brige using vlans. I am using Bering rc4 with bridge support and vlan support. First I set the interfaces in the bridge Br0 with no IP address ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up then I create the Vlans, eth0 and eth1 will belong to vlan10 vconfig add eth0 10 vconfig add eth1 10 So with this if I go to /proc/net/vlan I have the interfaces eth0.10 and eth1.10 with no IP address as we want for the bridge right? I set eth0.10 and eth1.10 up with ifconfig ifconfig eth0.10 up ifconfig eth1.10 up now I create the bridge brctl addbr br0 brctl stp br0 off so now I add the logical interfaces eth0.10 and eth1.10 to the bridge brctl addif br0 eth0.10 brctl addif br0 eth1.10 now I have what I think I need to et all the configuration to work, right? so I set the interface br0 up ifconfig br0 up As I think and as I readed in the tutorials and guides I found in the internet, this configuration should work. I should be able to ping from PC1 to PC2 because they are in the same vlan (PC1 and PC2 are using windows98 because my teacher says that the hosts that are not bridges dont have to support Vlan, so we can work with the normal interfaces) The problem is that, this doesnīt work, and I donīt now why I can not get a response for a ping to PC1 from PC2 or from PC2 to PC1. I tryed to do this not using vlans, with the normal physical interfaces in the bridge eth0 and eth1, instead eth0.10 and eth1.10, and of course it works. But what I am trying to set here is a bridge using vlans, them if I set eth0 in vlan 10 and eth1 in vlan 20 because the logical interfaces are not in the bridge it works when it shouldnīt. How can I get this configuration and this Idea to work? CAn any of you tell me why it doesnīt work? In the bridge, Do I have to use the the logical (eth0.10 and eth1.10) or the physical interfaces (eth0 and eth1)? Do I need PC1 and PC2 to support VLAN and get in PC1 eth0.10 with an IP addres and the same in the PC2? Can it be because with this configuration I am working with truck ports in the bridge, when I shoud be working with access ports? If so how can I configure the bridge with access ports? I will be really pleased if you can help me here, because I need it for my final degree project and time is running out. Thank you for your time, I apreciate it.
