Problem with DHCP Requests Forward in Bridge
Hi All,
My requirement is as below,
- I have de create a bridge on linux machine (kernel 2.6) and i have 2 physical interfaces (eth0 & eth2)
- I have a scheme like this
Windows
DHCP DHCP
Client Linux Bridge Server
------- ----------------- ---------- | eth0 |----------------| eth1 eth0|--------------------10.255.0.1/24-| eth0 | | (dhcp)| | (br0=eth0+eth1) | | | ------- ----------------- ----------
First Scenario :
Fixed ip adresse of br0 in my Linux Bridge (192.168.0.1)
Results :
* Windows Client obtain an ip adress from dhcp server (10.255.0.2)
(dhcp requests pass correctelly throught Linux Bridge).
*And i can manage my Linux Bridge from a Windows PC (using
http://192.168.0.1). All is good and this is my goal.
Second Scenario :
I switch the br0 to dhcp (not fixed IP)
Results :
* My Linux bridge obtain an ip adress (br0=10.255.0.3)..all right
* But, i can't access anywher from my Windows client (i can't obtain
an ip)
* A tcpdump on my Linux Bridge, i see DHCP REQUEST arrived from
Windows PC on eth1 interface but not repeated on eth0 interface..:(.
MY goal is that the Windows can obtain an IP from the dhcp server, and i will able to administer my Linux Bridge (a simple box-router that a developed myself).
Thanks a lot for your help.
