Hi there, I have configured a logical ethernet interface, so called a tap interface (tap0). I have also managed to bridged that interface to my "real" ethernet interface (rl0) and it works fine. Now to my question. Is it possible to "tunnel" my tap interface including the ip and ethernet header into a new ip and ethernet header, see figure below. ---------------------------------|-------------|---------------|-----------| ------------| | data | ip(tap0) | eth(tap0) | ip(rl0) | eth(rl0) | ---------------------------------|-------------|---------------|-----------| ------------| It is almost as a tun interface, but I would like to keep the layer 2(ARP handling) with the logical interface, that's why I want to use the tap interface and not the tun interface. Any idea have to make this to work appreciates a lot!
