Hello,
I am running into problems bridging 2 sites over a wireless link, with the
need for failover...
Basically the setup is like this:
There are 2 sites to be linked with wireless. (bridged):
Both sites are in the same 192.168.100.0/24 subnet (but they can be split up
with routes, e.g. < .100 = site 1, and > .100 = site 2)
We need failover so, we chose 2 barebone pcs with 3 nics, one nic of each to
be connected to the local network on each site, and the two others to be
connected to a dedicated (bonded) wireless link (Lancom L54), to effectively
link the 2 sites. (That makes 4 Lancoms in total)
The bond0 interfaces are up and running and failover works.
bond0 has 10.1.1.1 on site 1 and 10.1.1.2 o site 2
bond0 is made of eth0ð1
pinging from the barebone1 to barebone 2 works (10.1.1.1 -> 10.1.1.2 and
10.1.1.2 -> 10.1.1.1)
eth2 has 192.168.0.100 on site 1 and 192.168.100.200 on site 2 (and these eth2
are connected to the switch at each site)
Now my question is (as a non-network expert.. :) ):
Which routes do I have to set up where to get this bridge working
transparently?
E.g.: On site 1, how can I make a workstation know that if it wants to reach
192.168.100.101 (on site 2), it must use the bridge, as "gateway".
regards,
yves
p.s.
Each site has a dedicated internet connection as well, and the default gateway
is set to use the respective connection for each site.
