I'm trying to create a small bridge using FreeBSD 4.3, mainly for
testing purposes at the moment. The goal, is to have a box we can put in
front of servers when the bandwidth consumption on them gets out of
hand. Here's a pathetic diagram of what the layout looks like:
/------{switch}
/
{hub}---{bridge}---{server}
In the bridge kernel config, I have the following:
##--
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options DUMMYNET
options BRIDGE
##---
I made a few adjustments to the script 'ether.bridge' which I found in
/usr/share/examples/netgraph - Basically, just adding the ethernet cards
to the script and removing the local_if.
Once I ran the script, it basically brought down the entire hub, all the
way to the switch. Fun stuff, thank god for development networks. I
suppose my question is... What did I do wrong?
