Bridging (Linux)
General Remarks
edge
s can be part of network bridges. As such, n2n can connect otherwise un-connected LANs.
How To Use with brctl
... requires -r
... general syntax
... one example connecting two remote sites' LANs, including commands
How it works
... remembers peer info MAC ... ageing ... internal MAC replaced inside usually encrypted packet data (no disclosure then) ... initial learning
Broadcasts
... note on broadcast domain
Compile Time Option
The -r
option at edge does not differentiate between the use cases routing and bridging. In case the MAC-learning and MAC-replacing bridging code
interfers with some special routing scenario, removal of the #define HAVE_BRIDGING_SUPPORT
from /include/n2n.h
file disables it at compile time.
