Hi!! I am a graduate student at university of michigan. I have now been able to get my
server up but with a few gliches. I have a freebsd server with 2 network
cards. I need that data packets should be interchanges between the 2 cards
so that the workstations (attached to one of the cards through a hub) can
access the internet attached to the other card. Now, I did some reading on
it and it seems i have to create a "bridge" between the 2 cards. I just
wanted to confirm from you if this is right. Also.. the documentation gives
the following lines about creating a bridge.
----------------------------------------------
16.3.3.2. Kernel configuration changes
To enable kernel support for bridging, add the
options BRIDGE
statement to your kernel configuration file, and rebuild your kernel.
-----------------------------------------------
Could you explain to me what it means. My main questions are:-
1. Which is the kernel configuration file.
2. How do i rebuild by kernel and then get it up and running.
Thanks a lot of your help.
Regards.
