Subject: Linux as a router and/or bridge
Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 23:08:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1054264112.4715.4.camel@jayhawk> (raw)
Linux people,
I'm trying to understand how to set up a Linux system as a router. For
example, assume I have an interface with IP address 192.168.0.1(eth0)
and another with IP address 192.168.1.1(eth1). What do I need to do to
allow traffic received on one interface to be automatically forwarded
out of the other interface? To extend the example, assume eth0 receives
a packet from 192.168.0.25 that is destined for 192.168.2.40. What is
the minimal set of steps I need to perform in order to get my kernel to
send that packet on its way?
Second question, what exactly is network bridging and how might I use it
instead of setting up a Linux system as a router?
