[Bridge] Bridge IP not answering

[Fernando Rodriguez]

Hello, 

I have set up a bridge with the following script that starts after the
network interfaces are started

BRIDGENAME="BRQ"
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
BRIDGE_IP="192.168.0.122"
BRIDGE_NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
STP_ON="yes"
STP_PRIO="1"
RETVAL=0

start() {
        echo "Starting service bridge"
       ifconfig eth2 promisc up
        ifconfig eth3 promisc up
        brctl addbr $BRIDGENAME  ||  return=$rc_failed
        brctl addif $BRIDGENAME eth2  ||  return=$rc_failed
        brctl addif $BRIDGENAME eth3  ||  return=$rc_failed
        ifconfig eth2 0.0.0.0  ||  return=$rc_failed
        ifconfig eth3 0.0.0.0  ||  return=$rc_failed
        brctl sethello $BRIDGENAME 1  ||  return=$rc_failed
        brctl setmaxage $BRIDGENAME 4  ||  return=$rc_failed
        brctl setfd $BRIDGENAME 4  ||  return=$rc_failed
        brctl stp $BRIDGENAME $STP_ON
        brctl setbridgeprio $BRIDGENAME $STP_PRIO
        ifconfig $BRIDGENAME $BRIDGE_IP netmask $BRIDGE_NETMASK up

        ip route flush cache
        ip route add default via $GATEWAY

But the problem i have is that i am not able to contact the bridge on its IP
192.168.0.122 i am running Centos 4.4 on a 2.6.18 kernel, i have tested this
setup on 3 different sets of network cards tg3, b44, via-rhine and in all of
them i have the same results no connection, i know the bridge is working
otherwise packets couldnt flow on the network, im using bridge utils 1.0.4-4

If any one knows what could be wrong??

Or does any one has a script or an example on how they set up their bridge
in order to be able to access it via its IP


Thanks

You don't need to do this (set promisc mode). And it can
cause more load.

You may need to add 'dev $BRIDGENAME' to that

What is state of bridge? 
	brctl showstp $BRIDGENAME

Is it picking up the mac addresss?
	brctl showmacs $BRIDGENAME

> If any one knows what could be wrong??

Is bridge pseudo device receiving packets?
	ip -s -s link show $BRIDGENAME

Have you used ebtables to drop the bridges IP out of the bridging chain and
into the routing chain?
