Hi, all: I have installed bridge on my freebsd box, but the message showed on the screen frequently and the network halted (packet missing): /kernel: -- loop (0) 55.55.55.55.55.55 to fxp1 from fxp0 (active) /kernel: -- loop (0) 55.55.55.55.55.55 to fxp0 from fxp1 (active) It' weird because I didn't have a NIC which has mac address 55.55.55.55.55.55. I have searched with Google, and found the message below: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=180949+0+archive/2002/freebsd-n et/20020707.freebsd-net It seems that bridge supports only NICs with "SIMPLEX" flag. Therefore, I checked result of "ifconfig -a", but my two Intel 82550 (fxp0, fxp1) has "SIMPLEX" flag: fxp0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 fxp1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 Any suggestion? P.S. #1 sysctl -a | grep bridge #sysctl -a | grep bridge net.link.ether.bridge_cfg: fxp0,fxp1 net.link.ether.bridge: 1 net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw: 1 net.link.ether.bridge_ipf: 0 net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw_drop: 0 net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw_collisions: 749 P.S.#2 Sorry for my poor English :) Sincerely, Jui-Nan Eric Lin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
