Hi,
I set up bridging as described in the freebsd-handbook:
kldload bridge
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="xl0 sf1"
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Bridging itself works well so far and I can ping all host from both sides of
the bridge. Now I have the following problem:
I have to access the bridge itself from both sides of the bridge. So I
assigned an IP-address to one of the two involved NICs:
left side --- [ xl0:192.168.1.1 | sf1: no IP ] --- right side
---------- bridge ------------
Now it's possible to ping the bridge from hosts of the left side but pinging
from the right side doesn't work.
After that I tested netgraph for bridging. Surprisingly that works well
including the access to the bridge from both sides.
The bridge runs FreeBSD 4.7.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Any hints?
Markus
