So, my feeling about the man page for ifcfg-bridge is that it is very abbreviated and requires a deep understanding of the openSuSE network setup model which I don't have. Worse, the man page for ifcfg-bridge refers to a non-existent website - http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php.Bridge for further information, and there is nothing that I can find in the openSuSE documentation wiki's that describe how to set up openvpn either.
How about this: http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-security/cha.se... I don't think I used this when I set up my openvpn some six years ago, but that document appears to be quite comprehensive.
Additionally, using YaST to set up my bridge interface - br0 - has brought up a new bit of confusion. If I check my eth1 interface as being one of the devices that I want bridge, I get a popup error telling me "At least one selected device is already configured. Adapt the configuration for bridge (IP address 0.0.0.0/32)?" and I have no option but to let it do so.
Right.
And when I do, the IP address I had and want statically assigned to eth1 (in my case 192.168.10.100) gets removed and replaced with 0.0.0.0/32.
You have to assign your static address to the bridge interface instead. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
