Subject: [Bridge] resolving MACs through /etc/ethers?
Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2016 15:45:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160619134526.GA8292@var.home> (raw)
Hello,
I wanted to check which MACs show up in brctl showmacs, and I would
have thought that brctl would have resolved the MAC addresses thanks to
/etc/ethers, so that instead of
€ brctl showmacs br0
port no mac addr is local? ageing timer
1 00:00:12:34:56:78 no 0.59
with
00:00:12:34:56:78 myrouter
in /etc/ethers, I would get
€ brctl showmacs br0
port no mac addr is local? ageing timer
1 myrouter no 0.59
and of course a -n option would revert to showing the MAC address.
What do you think of that feature?
Samuel
