I have two FreeBSD routers. I would like both locations to share the 10.10.0.0/16 network. If I were using Cisco routers I would use extended VLANs. How would I do that with FreeBSD routers? I already have a tunnel set up and routing different networks in the 192.168.0.0/16 range. Router A: ifconfig em2 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig gif0 create 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 tunnel <routerA> <routerB> route add 192.168.2.0/24 129.168.2.1 Router B: ifconfig em2 inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig gif0 create 192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 tunnel <routerB> <routerA> route add 192.168.1.0/24 129.168.1.1 This routes traffic between 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 as I would expect. The docs say I can use a tunnel with a bridge, which seems like it would do what I want. Router A: ifconfig em3 inet 10.10.1.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 ifconfig bridge0 create addm em3 addm gif0 Router B: ifconfig em3 inet 10.10.2.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 ifconfig bridge0 create addm em3 addm gif0 I cannot ping 10.10.2.1 from router A or 10.10.1.1 from router B. Should I be able to use a bridge this way? Am I missing some piece? Is there an easier/better way to extend a VLAN with FreeBSD routers? Thanks! Dan
