Firewall Bridge


Hello everyone,

A question That that I am sure there is a quick and easy answer too

I have created a Bridge between two network without any problems. The bridge is Transparent and both networks talk to each other with no problems. As I followed the mini Howto for bridgin I assigned a 0.0.0.0 ip to both eth0 and eth1 with an IP add to br0.

Now I want to use iptables to filter traffic that is going through my bridge br0. As the NIC's have no ip address' I can't really use IP tables as there is no IP ... However I have grow fond of Guarddog and really don't want to make ebtable rules and wish to carry on using ip tables.

First quetion.

1. Is there a GUI for ebtables. I have tried googling and can't seem to find one.

2. The br-nf patch. How does this work and does it work. I have looked at source forge and can't seem to get an anser in a "Lame" format. Does it update the ipfilter moduels in ther kernel? Does it change the way iptables work?

I think thats enough questions for now

Thanks for you time

Lame
