B.3 /etc/bridged.conf

This file holds the configuration data for transparent bridging. It is created using the utility bredit.

#

#NetStar $Id$

#Configuration file for Bridge Daemon (bridged).

#Note: bridged will not start if it finds an error while

#trying to parse this file. Use the "-d" option on the

#command line with bridged to find proximity of the offending

#line.

#

#

#bridge_group bg0 {

#

#The main reason we need to configure this stuff is to

#specify which ports are part of a bridge group.

#

#Declare all the ports in this group on a single

#line if you don’t need to set anything special

#for the port. This is the normal case.

#

#multiple lines are ok.

#eg. port gf070;

#port gf041 gf072;

#port gf080;

#

#port gf000 gf001 gf002 gf003;

#

#If you need to set specific values for a port in this

#bridge group, then use the structure below..

#

#port gf040 {

#priority : port priority allows the network manager to

#influence the choice of port when a bridge has

#two ports connected in a loop.

#

#priority 5;

#valid states are : blocking, listening, learning and

#forwarding. the default start state is blocking.

#state blocking;

#

#root_path_cost : This is the cost to be added to the root

#path cost field in a configuration message received

#on this port in order to determine the cost of the

#path to the root through this port. This value is

#individually settable on each port.

#

#Setting this value to be large on a particular port

#makes the LAN reached through that port more likely
