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

  31. bool "IGMP/MLD snooping"

  34. default y
  35. ---help---
  36. If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively
  37. forward multicast traffic based on IGMP/MLD traffic received from
  38. each port.
  39. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
  40. If unsure, say Y.
  41. config BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING
  42. bool "VLAN filtering"
  43. depends on BRIDGE
  44. depends on VLAN_8021Q
  45. default n
  46. ---help---
  47. If you say Y here, then the Ethernet bridge will be able selectively
  48. receive and forward traffic based on VLAN information in the packet
  49. any VLAN information configured on the bridge port or bridge device.
  50. Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.
  51. If unsure, say Y.
