Bug 30688 – support for bridging in /etc/init.d/net.eth script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrea Dainese 2003-10-08 12:23:38 UTC]

The /etc/init.d/net.eth script support eth and vlan interfaces, but not bridge 
interfaces. 
You can apply this patch to fix the script, and configure in /etc/conf.d/net file: 
iface_br0="0.0.0.0" # or configure with an ip address 
iface_br0_bridges="eth1 eth2" # configure a bridge interfaces with eth1 and eth2 
 
bash-2.05b$ cat net.iface.diff 
25a26,30 
>       if [ -n "${bridges}" -a \! -x /sbin/brctl ] 
>       then 
>               eerror "For Bridging (802.1d) support, emerge net-misc/bridge-utils" 
>               return 1 
>       fi

Reproducible: Always

NA 
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
With my patch you can configure a bridge interface like vlan interface

incorrect product. kicking back to bug-wranglers.

new init script that handles bonding and bridging as well as better vlans.

[Comment 3 Phil Sorber 2003-10-20 02:52:41 UTC]

I have added support for briding and bonding out of neccesity. i also made
the vlan support a little more robust. i still need support for multiple
gateways. the syntax used is confusing and i don't know bash well enough
to fix this. also, i didn't include "full" support for the bridge options
as they can get very complex. honestly, i'd still like to see a complete
overhaul of the network init system as i mentioned in bug # 25861.

this also seems to solve bug # 21418 which is a dup.

same thing with a 1 line fix for vlans on bonds.

[Comment 5 Roy Marples (RETIRED) 2004-11-08 02:55:47 UTC]

We have bridge and vlan support working together in CVS now

This will be in baselayout-1.11.6

Fixed in baselayout-1.11.6
