Ebtables & iptables!!
Hi to all,
I wanted to know abt the following:
1) do we always have to set up ebtables as a bridge or bridge router to be able to use ebtables commands. Is it possible to have only a normal firewall using ebtables (just like with iptables). It's just that almost all examples I've come across talk abt building only bridges, bridgefirewalls or bridge routers. I just need a confirmation of this.
2) Also, I want to make the packets move from the link layer right after ebtables NAT PREROUTING to iptables. I have not set up my PC as a bridge or bridge router.. I just want to set up a normal firewall that makes use of both ebtables and iptables.
How do i go about it? do i use br-nf code?Does anyone have a sample script using br-nf code? If yes, pls send it to me.
Thx in advance..
Best regards,
Visham Ramsurrun
You want a normal firewall, so why do you want to use ebtables ??
