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? -- Rob Hough To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
