[SOLVED] Bridge

Hi all.

Can anyone give me some pointers on setting up a bridge?

I've done this already on Fedora but fancy having a go on Arch.

Installed bridge-utils,
aliased both network cards,
set the ips to be 0.0.0.0,
added bridge module into /etc/rc.conf

Is there something I can put into rc.conf to configure the bridge or do I need to do it with brctl?

TIA

John

Have a look at /etc/conf.d/bridges and edit it as required. It's fairly self-explanatory.

hmm. well to be more precise, it doesn't run according to plan in that file. i had to initialise eth0 & 1 in rc.conf and setup the bridge in rc.local using brctl. works fine that way.  smile
