Hi everyone, I am trying to set a vlan but using vlan-unaware machines ( PC1, PC2,PC3 and PC4 as you can see in the picture).
Here the bridge is the one to do the tagging of the frames and untag them to send them to the correct machine (Because the vlan-unaware machines dont tag their frames, as I have readed in some tutorials about vlans). I am using the packages vlan.lrp and bridge.lrp to configure the bridges as it follows: ----- ----- -PC1- -PC2- ----- ----- - - - eth0 eth0 - - 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 - - - - --------- ----------------- - - eth1.10- - eth2.20 ------------------ - br0 - ------------------ - eth0 - - - - - eth0 ------------------ - br1 - ------------------ eth1.10 - - eth2.20 - - - - ----------- -------------------- - - - - eth0 192.168.1.3 eth0 192.168.1.4 - - ----- ----- -PC3- -PC4- ----- ----- So following this picture, PC2 would see PC4 and PC1 would see PC3 and the bridges would be in charge of tagging and untagging the frames, the vlan-unaware machines would not have to know about the tagging, right, I think this is the Idea of the vlan access link. So to get this, I have configured the bridges this way: first I have created the vlans vconfig add eth1 10 vconfig add eth2 20 then I set them up ifconfig eth1.10 up ifconfig eth2.20 up so then I have configured the bridge brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1.10 brctl addif br0 eth2.20 and set it up ifconfig br0 up As far as I know about vlans and bridging PC2 would have to be able to comunicate with PC4 and PC1 with PC3, but they don´t. Is it maybe because the kernel doesn´t support vlan access link, and PC1,PC2,PC3 and PC4 must be vlan-aware machines to tag the frames? (as it is possible in CISCO machines) If this bridge configuration to get a vlan access link is wrong, as I think it is because it doesn´t work, what do I have to change to get a vlan access link in my bridges so PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4 could be vlan-unaware machines and don´t worry about tagging? Thank you for your help, I will be checking my mail to see if any of you can help me out with this. bye!! ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
