Re: Create Switch with linux on PC?



Yes it is possible using ebtables and bridge-utils. You must compile bridge support in
your kernel and add some NICs to this PC.

Is it possible to create a network switch using an older PC and Linux ?

Instead of purchasing an expensive network switch I would think one could create a switch using Linux and a PC.

Anyone  tried this ?

Why would I want to do this ?  To test Linux security of course.
