hi, thank all of you for such quick reply. I am sorry for not addressing matters clearly. In face, I want to do tests on Ethernet over IP. That means one end of tunnel could encapsulate the whole Ethernet frame into the IP packet. when the datagrams reach on the other side, the Ethernet frame could be freed out. I read from the following article about a easy way to implement it with OpenBSD. So i think it is reasonable to use it with freeBSD. http://www.csh.rit.edu/~jon/papers/tunneling/ Another way to implement Ethernet over IP is to use vtun, a specially desgined software. http://vtun.sourceforge.net I really appreciated someone could offer some experience on it. thank you again. best regards, kurt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Julian Elischer" <julian@elischer.org> To: "Lars Eggert" <larse@ISI.EDU> Cc: "Ke Chen" <iw01_cke@it.kth.se>; <freebsd-net@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 9:27 PM Subject: Re: about gif interface! > > .se? > > anyhow you may be able to do what you want to do bu you need to > tell us a bit more.. > > what is at the other end of the gif tunnel? > are you trying o bridge two networks or just add a single > machine to your network? > > > On Fri, 5 Apr 2002, Lars Eggert wrote: > > > Ke Chen wrote: > > > hi, > > > > > > I have some problems about gif interface. > > > > > > Could gif interface be bridged together with Ethernet interface? > > > > Sorry, I can't help you with Ethernet bridging (never set one up), but I > > can tell you that you will not need a gif interface for it (that's for > > IP tunnels). > > > > Lars > > -- > > Lars Eggert <larse@isi.edu> Information Sciences Institute > > http://www.isi.edu/larse/ University of Southern California > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
