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
