Hi all,
I have a Linux box with 3 interfaces eth0,eth1 and eth2.
Could anyone please let me know whether the following configuration
would be valid :
*#brctl addbr br1
#brctl addif br1 eth1
#ifconfig br1 up
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br1 8000.001000000007 no eth1
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# ifconfig br0 up
# vconfig add br0 5
# brctl addif br1 br0.5
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br1 8000.001000000006 no br0.5
eth1
br0 8000.001000000006 no
#
# ifconfig br0.5 up*
Thanks.
Debasis

A bridge can not be added to a bridge.

I think you're looking for more vlan capability than the current Linux
bridging code has. I posted a patch a few years back to add vlan aware
bridging to the kernel - it would be great if someone updated it to the
current kernel. Here's a reference:
