Adds an optional infrustructure component to bridge that would allow native vlan filtering in the bridge. Each bridge port (as well as the bridge device) now get a VLAN bitmap. Each bit in the bitmap is associated with a vlan id. This way if the bit corresponding to the vid is set in the bitmap that the packet with vid is allowed to enter and exit the port. Write access the bitmap is protected by RTNL and read access protected by RCU. Vlan functionality is disabled by default. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
|
|
Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
|
|
is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
|
|
Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
|
|
networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
|
|
As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
|
|
other third party bridge products.
|
|
|
|
In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge
|
|
configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
|
|
for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
|
|
turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
|
|
iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
|
|
take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
|
|
Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
|
|
bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.
|
|
|
|
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
|
|
will be called bridge.

|

If unsure, say N.
