| Rather than an ask a detailed question like "what will happen if I
misconfigure
| the system, then change the behaviour", instead start a discussion about
| your requirements. Like "I need to forward only frames from some MAC
addresses
| in a firewall". The answer might not involve bridging at all...
In fact, I'm evaluating how to implement rbridge :
http://www.postel.org/rbridge/, which is a mix of bridging and routing.
The latest specifications (IETF draft) are available here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-trill-rbridge-protocol-08
I am in a very preliminary phase, trying to learn how to implement
routing and bridging under Linux. In order for the routing protocol to
have proper topology view, it somehow needs to assign a unique IP on all
interfaces and for bridging and those interfaces needs to be in the same
bridge.
Maybe I am wrong in those assumptions, but here is the explanation on my
previous questions.
Regards,
Benoit
