Well that was silly of me - I guess it would help to mention what OS I'm
running on that box 8^)

My environment is FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE...

Subject: Bridging


Greetings,

I've built a config with two interfaces (xl0 and mx0) and would like to use
bridging... Despite the man page not mentioning either interface as
supported, I built the kernel config anyways and went to try it out (Stop!
Don't throw that tomato! 8^). In fact it almost works (I can ping the IP
address of the mx0 interface on systems connected through xl0 which is
unnumbered).

Both interfaces _say_ they have the PROMISC flag set (I'm assuming this
might be core to some interfaces supporting briding or not?) but I can't
ping all the way through the bridge from hosts on xl0 to hosts on mx0.

Have I got a hope-in-hell of making this work or should I just give up now
8^)

Steve
