You are wrong, but we'll forgive you. :-> from bridge(4): net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw Set to 1 to enable ipfw filtering on bridged packets. Note that ipfw rules only apply to IP packets. from ipfw(8): Each incoming or outgoing packet is passed through the ipfw rules. If host is acting as a gateway, packets forwarded by the gateway are pro- cessed by ipfw twice. In case a host is acting as a bridge, packets for- warded by the bridge are processed by ipfw once. the 'bridged' keyword can be used to match only bridged packets, so: ipfw add allow tcp from any to any 22 setup bridged ipfw add allow tcp from any 22 to any established bridged would allow ssh over a bridge, but in the absence of other rules, wouldn't allow it to the actual machine (or if the machine is also a router(?!) it wouldn't route ssh sessions either.) -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
