I've been reading the handbook, the man pages and been trying to do some inventive maneuvers. I don't work. So, I have the bridge module loaded, I have the if_tap module loaded. I have "activated" the tap/tun device with 'cat /dev/tap0 |tun0'. How do I set up the bridge? I've read the manpage for ifconfig and tried a few times to bridge from my rl0 interface to some of the tap/tun devices. I get some different error messages, but mostly it complains that I use the wrong arguments. I think I have misunderstood how these ethernet bridges work. Are there anyone out there that have a webpage, or some other documentation of a working example of ethernet tunneling? Google finds me some linux stuff I don't find applicable. The big idea with all this is to get my simulated VAX to bridge its interface to my physical rl0 via tap0. But how? If nobody have any documentation to suggest, then I guess I'll have to do a step by step example of what goes wrong and hope someone can debug that. Thankful for any pointers in the correct direction. /andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
