Is it possible to bridge across routers, for example if routerA had a 10.10.10.1/24 network assigned to bridge1 with 3 ethernet interfaces (ether1, ether2, and ether3) and you had a router that was for example routerB I guess you would have it connected through a crossover from say ether3 on routerA to ether1 on routerB and have your ether2 for whoever else needs to be apart of that network? Someone correct me if I’m wrong, kind of a newbie to networking.
I dont see your question…what do you want router B to do? are you saying
if you have 10.0.1.x on router a
and 10.0.2.x on router b? and how to get each network to talk to each other?
tks
well could i get routerB to be in the same network as routerA the 10.0.1.x network as you say, i don’t know how that would be accomplished i guess or would they have to be seperate networks?
It is possible to brigde between MT routers using EoIP, it bridges at a OSI level below IP, level 2 I think (Sten will soon correct me if I’m wrong)
EoIP creates Ethernet tunnel between two routers on top of an IP connection.
LoL
OSI layer 2 would be the data link layer so you are correct.
And the answer to your question is; yes, if done right.
Would that be the only way to join to router boards that are up on a tower together keeping them in the same network for a sectorized setup? And would simple queueing still be possible?
ugh and another addition to this matter, would i join the eoip interface to the bridge then i assume
if the routerboards are already physically connected, you can just add the appropriate interfaces to the bridge interface, no need for a EoIP tunnel. if the RB’s are across a routed network, then you’ll need a EoIP tunnel if you want layer 2 connectivity between them.
When creating an eoip over a pptp connection (ether1 and eoip is bridged and address is assigned to the eoip interface) should the eoip interface on the pptp server side have its ARP set to proxy-arp?
The reason i am asking is because clients on network B is not recieving dhcp addresses from the 3rd party dhcp server on network A. PLease help
both routers have their ether1 and eoip interfaces bridged with an address assigned to the eoip interface. Router 1 is the pptp server and router 2 is the pptp client.
