Content preview: Hi all, I have two cisco switches, configured to put ports 2-6 on each of them into vlan 100. Then I have port 1 on both set to trunk between the two switches.

Then I have port 1 on both set to trunk between the two switches. If I have a device on port 2 on switch1 it can ping a device on port 2 on switch2. If I break the link between the two switches, and try to bridge that trunk with a freebsd box, I can't get it right. Does anyone have any specific advice? As I understand it I should just be able to bridge my two interfaces, I have created vlan100 interfaces bound to each though and bridged them as well just to be sure - neither option works... Any advice? Thanks in advance Dave P.s. please copy me as I'm not on the list
