So, here’s is the issue:
We are working with a RDB board with a BSP29.0 (PFE 0.9.4) based Linux, and for the first test we are trying to create a simple L2 bridge between PFE0 and PFE2. The test would be simple: two PCs connected on those interfaces, in the same subnet, should be able to ping each other and engage in data exchange.
However this doesn’t work for us. As soon as we run our Linux application designed to create and configure the bridge – which uses those libfci calls and is based on the pfe documentation– we lose all connectivity (ssh, ping etc.) to the board, and the bridge itself doesn’t work.
From our side we assume we done everything necessary, since the steps seem straightforward:
- Configure the bridge policy to forward unicast/multicast hits (using fci_bd_set_policy) and deny misses
- Add emac0 and emac2 to the bridge
- Set them to the mode FPP_IF_OP_BRIDGE, promiscuous and enable them
Could you give us some hints as to what to look at?
Thank you very much for your time.
