This seems a bit weird to me. What I could imagine is: - eth0 and eth1 have 802.1Q traffic - you have eth0.100, eth0.200, eth1.100, eth1.200 with normal Ethernet traffic - you bridge eth0.100 with eth1.100 in br0, and eth0.200 and eth1.200 in br1 This achieves the same result, but with a per VLAN bridge. Is anything making you prefer bridging of 802.1Q? Didn't you have any trouble with your setup? Bye, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
