Re: [Astlinux-users] Bridging eth ports
Fernando,
I've used bridge mode before numerous times, but only on two physical
interfaces. According to the network init script, it looks like having
>2 would work, but I don't know if anyone has ever actually tried that.
With two interfaces bridged, I never really saw any noticeable
performance hit, even after doing some stress testing. On a fairly low
powered board, I was able to simulate about 30mbps of bandwidth to
transit the bridge without disrupting call quality or causing any
significant load to the box. However, as always, YMMV. One thing that we
did have an issue with was traffic shaping. Please note that we did this
on a very customized (and older) version of Astlinux, so the current
mainstream version might not be affected, but basically it would
throttle traffic symmetrically and at the lowest value. What I mean by
this is that if you set the circuit speeds to, say, 1500 up and 6000
down, it would throttle both up- and down-stream traffic by the lower
1500 value. Therefore, while we did use this on occasion, it would only
be viable for symmetric speed circuits. Obviously if you aren't using
traffic shaping then that issue is moot anyway.
We used this configuration when we had a customer that had multiple IP
addresses, but wanted our device to sit between the ISP CPE and their
router/firewall. Using 'bridge mode', we were able to pass the extra
public IP address(es) internally, while still providing a level of QoS
and manageability. The configuration is easy and straightforward. Note
however that once an interface is included in a bridge (ie: br0), you
can only apply configuration changes to that virtual interface and not
the individual bridge members. So if you only have four physical
interfaces, and all four are in this bridge, your system will
effectively only have a single interface. This means you won't have any
routing capabilities, as everything will appear to be external. Though
you might be able to setup some crazy VLANs to circumvent this...
Anyway, putting four interfaces into a bridge might have a greater
impact to performance - I couldn't really say. You could always test it
out and see what happens. But I would probably recommend using only two
at most, and putting the second interface into a switch.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Bridging eth ports
I have been bridging eth1 and eth2 for a couple of years... but I am not routing traffic across the interfaces on the bridge, rather the traffic is 99% of the time routed from br1 to/from eth0 which is my cable modem. As throughput is constrained by the speed of the cable modem connection, I am not affected by any s/w bridge overhead (at least not enough that it matters). Lonnie has reported on this list that he has measured up to a 15% overhead for s/w bridge. But I don't know if this is variable based on the number of interfaces on the bridge. I use AstLinux as a gateway to the internet. For all internal traffic I use a gigabit switch, connected to one of the bridge interfaces. The other interface is connected to a single Analog ATA. This is part of my strategy to keep a phone line up if power goes down for everything except my cable modem, astlinux and the single ATA, the three of which are on a UPS that can last roughly 12 hours.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Bridging eth ports
To bridge all four ports, add: BRIDGE0=" eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3" To /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf (you can use the "Edit" tab of the GUI to do this). The bridge will show up as "br0" in the interface pick lists on the network tab. This technique works fine on a net4801 in my test lab, but I wouldn't recommend it on a production system. -tm From: Fernando F.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Bridging eth ports
At the bottom of the "Network" tab click on edit user variables and add a line like this into the file... BRIDGE1="eth1 eth2" After reboot, a new interface br1 will be visible in the Network tab of the user interface. As far as I know you can add multiple eth interfaces to the bridge.

Re: [Astlinux-users] Bridging eth ports
Fernando, Yes, this is possible, but that sounds a lot like a switch with poor performance ;). Take a look at the examples in /stat/etc/rc.conf. You'll need to have the appropriate variables added to user.conf, but it should be pretty straightforward. Again, use /stat/etc/rc.conf as an example, do NOT edit that file. If you can't figure it out by tomorrow, I'm sure someone else can respond with the exact variables. Once you have the bridge (br0) created, it should show up in the web interface and allow you to manipulate settings on that interface. Again, I really think you'd be better off with a 5 port switch because bridging those eth devices will come with a penalty in performance. Darrick From: Fernando F.
