I have the following interfaces:
=> vlan22 and vlan2 on eth0
=> vlan23 and untagged traffic on eth1
The essence is that:
=> vlan22@eth0 and vlan23@eth1 need to be bridged, and
=> vlan2@eth0 and the untagged traffic on eth1 need to be bridged.
Software:
=> Gentoo 10.1
=> linux 2.6.32.7 vanilla
=> vconfig 1.9
=> bridge-utils 1.4
===== My implementation:
vconfig add eth0 2
vconfig add eth0 22
vconfig add eth1 23
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 vlan2
brctl addif br0 eth1
brctl addbr br1
brctl addif br1 vlan22
brctl addif br1 vlan23
ebtables -P FORWARD DROP
ebtables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -p ! 802_1Q -i eth1 -o vlan2
ebtables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -p ! 802_1Q -i vlan2 -o eth1
ebtables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i vlan23 -o vlan22
ebtables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i vlan22 -o vlan23
Unfortunately, the vlan23 interface stops receiving data as soon as eth1
is connected to br0. It seems that the bridge sucks all data from eth1,
effectively disabling vlan23; why is this?
How can I get access to the untagged data on eth1, while simultaneously
using vlan23@eth1 ?
Or should I use a different approach?

This is an issue with linux vlan support, there is no interface for
untagged traffic. eth1 represents all traffic through that nic
whether tagged or not.
You should ask this question again on the vlan mailing list, maybe
there's a new configuration option I don't know about or maybe they
can offer a workaround.

Thank you Richard.
Anyway, I just found the solution while re-reading the FAQ
http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/misc/brnf-faq.html (see section 3: How
do I let vlan-tagged traffic go through a vlan bridge port and the other
traffic through a non-vlan bridge port?).
And lo-and-behold - after adding the ebtables rule ....
ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -j DROP -i eth1 -p 802_1Q --vlan-id 23
.... now everything works like a charm!
I can now ping through br1 as well (br0 was never a problem) -
vlan23-traffic arriving on eth1 does not get bridged, but instead the
vlan23-tag is stripped and the packet then arrives magically on my
vlan23-interface.
Only after reading this part for the 3rd time just now, I suddenly
understood the meaning, added the brouter rule, and done.
Thank you all for your support,
Z.

Hi,
I have a CentOS 5.4 distro running Xen on top of a Linux bridge (set up by Xen). I have noticed by using iPerf in bidirectional mode that the traffic going into the server running the bridge is quite a bit slower with the bridge enabled than when it isn't. The HW is a multiblade setup (8 blades each running CentOS 5.x). On one of the blades, I shut down Xen and initially run with the bridge shut down and transferred a file from another machine using scp. I then started up the bridge and transferred the same file and you can see below there is a big difference (3.6MB/s vs 23.2KB/s). I stopped Xen before doing the following...
Any help on where to look would be helpful. I was going to shut down all but one blade to see if it could be a lack of STP causing issues.
-- Xen bridge initially shut down
[root@bsbchp003 ~]# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
virbr0 8000.000000000000 yes
-- transfer the 3.7GB file
[root@bsbchp003 ~]# scp card@harvard:bigfile .
bigfile 100% 3685KB 3.6MB/s 00:00
-- start the bridge
[root@bsbchp003 ~]# /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0
Nothing to flush.
