Folks...
I have finally gotten the bridge code committed to NetBSD-current. I
have tested it in pretty simple configurations. When I have a chance,
I will test it in more complex configurations.
Bridges are configured with a combination of ifconfig(8) and the new
brconfig(8) utility. brconfig(8) can also be used to show a bridge's
status, like so:
swinger:thorpej 1$ brconfig -a
bridge0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING>
Configuration:
priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20
Interfaces:
fxp2 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
port 4 priority 128
tlp0 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
port 5 priority 128
Address cache (max cache: 100, timeout: 1200):
00:20:6f:04:13:1d tlp0 1169 flags=0<>
08:00:2b:2b:a9:0e tlp0 914 flags=0<>
00:03:47:20:1b:7d fxp2 191 flags=0<>
00:00:f8:23:43:9d tlp0 148 flags=0<>
swinger:thorpej 2$
If you use the bridge code, please send me mail and report on how well
it works for you. If you have problems with it, please file bug reports
with send-pr(1).
Enjoy!
