in this case you are creating STP loop and enable of STP will disable either eth1 or eth0. what are you trying achieve ? Is it just sending packets over both ethernet interfaces ? you better bond those two ethernet interfaces. you need switch configuration for proper incoming traffic flow. __ Tharindu "Rukshan" Bamunuarachchi On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 8:29 PM, jiangtao.jit <jiangtao.jit@gmail.com> wrote:
dear all:
i have a x86 PC and i use it as a router the kernel is 2.6.38
there are two NICs: eth0 and eth1
i configed eth0 as 10.1.0.1 and eth1 as 11.1.0.1 Linux will route between these two cards and it worked ok in the old days
but recently, i had added a new NIC as eth2 for LAN so i add a bridge br0 and config it as 10.1.0.1 then i configed eth0 and eth2 under br0 no ip on eth0 now like br0(10.1.0.1) eth1(11.1.0.1) / \ eth0 eth2 | | LAN LAN
i expected that the performance will be better but unfortunately things become worse
the PC lost packets now
at first, i think maybe there is a loop Under br0, so i disconnected the wire on eth2 or eth0 nothing changed, packets still lost
then i remove br0 config is as before its' eth0(10.1.0.1) eth1(11.1.0.1) | LAN
then everthing becomes fine, no packet lost
i can't explain why, any idea?
thanks
