Ubuntu :: Network Bridge - Moving Packets Between Interfaces
Mar 27, 2010
I am using vnuml to test a network project. I have one Ethernet card on my ubuntu 9.10( eth0) with network 10.1.0.0/16, and creating a tap0 with subnet 10.4.0.0/16. Now the problem is how to work them together, such that packets from one interface goes to other one?
I want to set up a bridge using bridge-utils within /etc/network/interfaces like is shown here in this guide: [URL] The problem is that, at the same time, I want eth0 to have a specific static IP address. Right now I have a configuration for eth0. This guide tells me that I should not configure eth0 outside of the br0 configuration.
Now doing some research about performance of Linux switch. I'll start with basic structure of my system: PC1 is connected to PC2 - both have 1 NIC so not much to add.PC2 eth0 is divided in VLAN`s as far as maximum of 4094. Every VLAN has it's own switch (bridge). On PC1 when I run a test I just make VLAN/configure IP address and stream data to IP that's configured for that bridge on PC2.But now I want to add one more interface to each bridge, so I could stream from PC1 through bridge to Virtual interface (just an endpoint out of bridge). I could possibly add one more computer, physical interface to PC1 and make it work, but is there any way to make this work with virtual interfaces, like tun or something? Making just a simple tun interface and adding it to bridge, as you understand, doesn't do the trick, I need some kind of other endpoint that /virtually/ connects to tun interface. Maybe someone has made some kind of script or something? Using Iperf for my tests.
I am new to fedora and I've installed fedora 14, I want to know what are the steps to make my machine act as a transparent (IP-less) bridge? Second, after setting the bridge, I want to make all the packets that passes through the bridge execute a servlet filter (to make some tests and add cookies) is it possible? Is there a simpler way to do those tests on the packets and add cookies?
If I try to add a new interface (eth1) to /etc/network/interfaces, I get
Code: * Reconfiguring network interfaces... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
[Code]...
How do I add 2 interfaces and get anyone of them to work, as available ?
I have a series of four config scripts which all run in sequence of each other.first occurs during the whole kcikstart thing.Kickstart then tells rc.local to run step2, which then tells rc.local to run step 3. No steps are repeated, after they are run they delete themselves from rc.local.After each step, it reboots.Step 3 is responsible for creating the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file, and populating it. It greps ifconfig -a for the mac address of USB0.
#! /bin/bash
# Check to see if the usb nic takes eth2, if it does, move it to eth1[code]............
I'm on opensuse 11.4 (11.3 won't work with my monitor).
My computer gets internet through wireless and I want to share that internet through its ethernet port. So far I've tried using Knetworkmanager to create a network bridge between my wireless and wired connections. I created a new wired connection and shared it using the ip address settings. I was able to get both connections active, but the device hooked up via ethernet had no internet connectivity.
I also tried this command: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
but another test resulted in the same fashion (no internet on wired). I believe anything I add to /proc should have an immediate effect, correct?
I'm new to this forum site and I was wondering how can I bridge a network between the eth0 and wlan0 connections?my eth0 NIC is a RealTek RTL8111B 10/100/1000 Ethernet Card (OnBoard) and my wlan0 NIC is a RealTek RTL8187B 802.11b/g WiFi USB Adapter Card.Are there any utilities, such as bridge-utils that I can use, except for Firestarter since Firestarter states that the eth0 connection is not established, or do I right-click on the network icon and select Edit Connections and go to Auto eth0 and under the IPv4 Address setting and select Shared to other computers and run a live connection there?The main reason is that I need an Internet connection for my Xbox 360, which is connected to my Linksys WRT54G 802.11b/g Wireless Router, that has DD-WRT firmware installed and 4 WiFi hotspots for any wireless device, such as my PSP, DS, DS Lite, Wii, Laptop(s), my brother's PC (needs a WiFi card), and my dad's PC (needs either a WiFi card or an Internet connection from my brother's computer to my dad's PC)

I've currently got a Xen box with 3 Virtual machines on it, in a routed setup. I'd like to put them all on a private internal network as well, which I'm assuming I'd do with a dummy network card and a xen bridge, but I can't find any information about setting up the xen Bridging setup on top of the existing network-route instlal.
Using Fedora 10, can anyone tell me how to setup the network scripts to create two network interfaces for vlan x and y. Both interfaces should obtain an ip from dhcp and both interfaces should run over eth0.
I've not found how to configure more than one ip address with network manager.Nor with kde nor with plasmoid network manager.I need several virtual ip addresses for eth0 when the "default" of eth0 is connected i.e. "Connected to Auto eth0" should initialize the virtual interfaces.I have not found no even how to configure the ip address.I think this will be used from ifup config in yast or not?There I have the virtual interfaces but they are not taken from network manager.And last but no least: Is it possible that when using network manager the eth0 is enabled even no user has logged in?

First of all I have a Ethernet cable from the wall to my desktop then I have a Ethernet cable from my desktop to my laptop. Before I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 I was using Ubuntu 10.10 and I found a tutorial to make this network bridge work by changing settings in the Devices - Network Tools. I need to make this bridge work again and i totally forgot how and I can't find the tutorial.
I'm toying around with ubuntu + LTSP. I've managed to get the computers to boot off the network card "eth0". "eth1" is facing the internet. How would I go about the process to bridge the connections so the ltsp clients can access the net?
When I run cat /etc/network/interfaces in Ubuntu 11.04 I get the below output. auto lo iface lo inet loopback I don't see the eth0 or eth1 interfaces, but I am able to see them in the Network Tools application. How do I configure the eth0 and eth1 from command line?
On my desktop having a NIC 3Com, connected to the company intranet and correctly working, I have added a second NIC ( Realtek RTL-8139) to connect a second small network ( three devices, instrumentation) using static addressing.The new board seems to be rekognized by Ubuntu, indicating "auto eth1" in the Network connections dialog. When I try to configure the connection, the "Apply" button is always disabled, therefore I cannot activate it. The command lspci shows that the board has been recognized but when i sent the
I have a weird problem with my /etc/network/interfaces configuration. I have the most simple static setup possible: Code: # cat /etc/network/interfaces
The reason for this is I can connect to the internet on my ps3 through my laptop, and I can stream from my laptop to ps3 through wired connection. This works fine in windows 7 all I had to do was right click bridge connections. As I dual boot I don't want to have to make any changes to the settings on the ps3.
My interfaces are: eth0 - wired wlan0 - wireless
I installed bridge-utils and created a bridge and added both eth0 and wlan0 to it. However I could not get it to work. I have also tried internet sharing through network manager and firestarter.
I setup a network bridge on pc A, with windows 7 installed on it, using windows default bridging tool. I connected computer B to computer A and Im trying to connect to the internet through the network bridge on computer A. Computer B (client) has two OS's installed, win XP and linux(tried with different distributions, didnt work). On windows XP everything is working, when i try to ping the router (after computer A) it also responds. On linux system nothing is working, and im not quite sure why.
I set up linux to receive IP adress from DHCP, which is router in this case (behind computer A), same way windows XP was configured. I decided to ask here, because I couldn't find anything on the net. My guess is windows-made bridge supports only windows-OS's but that would be kind of strange (its just a software bridge).
i have a linux server runnig oracle applications. i need to access this server from putty using ssh through internet. i did by registering my static ip with the dnydns.org and i am able to connect to the server. but now there is no security to authenticate any user as any one knowing the password can login to it.
i thought of configuring the firewall of linux server but the client ip`s are not static and they change continiously. so thought of keeping one more pc between the server and the router which will do the work of authenticating. but i am confuse as how to configure it to allow the packets coming from the internet after authenticating and to by pass the packets generated from internal LAN?
I have a weird issue that I have not seen on any forum. My jaunty on DELL studio laptop seems connected to net, but I can not access any network service (ssh, firefox etc.). But when I connect a cable the cable lights blink as it should be and in wireless connection my wifi light blinks.
It was working 2 days ago without problem, and I have not done big changes recently.I removed and reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome. Nothing changed. I see a message in each restart as follows (when Openafs is starting). I can reproduce it with "/etc/init.d/openafs-client restart"
Code:
ADVISEADDR:error in specifying interfaces: no existing ip interfaces found
I created a similar thread last week in the networking section but only got one response. I was hoping to get a little more help here as this forum helped me tremendously to partition my hard drive safely. That was over a week ago, and ever since then I have been struggling with setting up my network. Here is what I have done.Basic set up with netconfig. I selected DHCP and followed the directions on the screen.ifconfig -a shows eth0 with no RX or TX packets at all, but at least it showed me information. If it was not detecting my card (which is compatible with linux), it would have said no device found. correct?
dhclient eth0 just hangs there for half a minute until I can add a command again.dhcpcd eth0 times out.I read (in slackbook chaper 5.2.1) that the correct kernel module may not be loaded. So I opened rc.modules with pico and went to the netdevice section. In slackbook it said to find my device and uncomment it.... but I cant find it! (I have an atheros ar9285 in my stock compaq CQ61 laptop) I also opened rc.netdevice and it was empty..It seems like the more I learn about the network, the more lost I get. I keep hearing that configuring a network on slackware is easy, am I just missing some simple step?Also, whenever I startx, akonadi gives me an error. I also get another error saying that it could not parse XMS file. Is that just due to my lack of an internet connection at the moment?
I am currently trying to set up two network interfaces in my laptop. The wireless connection wlan0 works fine and it's the one that I use to connect the internet. It's in the range of 192.168.0.x/24 (gateway: 192.168.0.1). The wired interface eth0 is connect to another router (gateway: 10.0.0.13 with IPs in the range of 10.0.0.x/24. The router is set up to work as an AP and the 10.0.0.x network will only be used to control a robot, so no internet access will be required in this network. The problem is that when I have both connections up, I can't access the Internet anymore. I can still ping both routers, I can enter both routers configuration pages but I can't connect to the Internet. If I unplug the network cable, Internet gets accessible again.
I'm still a novice in linux and I can't figure out how to fix this. I don't want to get into static ip for the wireless connection since I'm constantly using the laptop in different places. The objective is to use the 10.0.0.x router to have a development platform for the robot that can be used anywhere without having to reconfigure the robot for a new network, which is a real pain.
In detail, the laptop connects via wireless to the network with intenet (192.168.0.x) and also connects via cable to another wireless router(10.0.0.x). The wireless connection of the second router is used to connect to the robot. Since I can ping both routers when they're both connected, I think it may be something related to the ip routes. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with kernel 2.6.31-17-generic
i edit this file... Code: /etc/network/interfaces now it looks like that
Code: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp after the change I cant enter to local host with the browser and unable to log to PHPMYADMIN what i need to change to solve it?
I'm trying to configure /etc/network/interfaces to log whenever an interfaces goes up or down into a file, using this format: UP/DOWN [DD-MM-YY/HH:MM:SS]
How exactly do I use commands with the UP and DOWN directives?
So far as my knowledge goes, /etc/network/interfaces is supposed to contain a list of all the available interfaces. But my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this,auto loiface lo inet loopbackBut I have a perfectly working eth0 connection. Why does not it appear here?
