hello all:

im trying to set up a bridge for ipv6, but i cant manage to get it 
working, does someone have experience with this?

i used the common :

brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth2

then to set up the ip's i tried

ifconfig eth0 inet6 add ::/0
ifconfig eth2 inet6 add ::/0
ifconfig br0 inet6 add 2020::2/128

and also tried(the above didnt work for me):

removing all addresses from all bridged interfaces (even the link local 
ones).


Another question:

Is there any way i can set up a bridge and then block all level 2 
forwarding between the bridged interfaces?

I know it seems odd, but the idea was to have only one interface to 
handle the other two - its good for ipv6 multicasting,  that way you 
dont need to bind sockets to all interfaces.


thanks a lot
