Using two subnets is not an option. No, a bridge/switch would forward broadcast traffic to everyone on that subnet. The only way to create a new broadcast domain is to install a router and make a new subnet. Switches separate collision domains; routers separate broadcast domains. Have you sniffed the traffic to see that it is broadcast traffic? Do you realize you're also using non-RFC1918 IP addresses for your internal network? The 192.170.1.xxx was chosen as more than 50% of the gear came with that block OEM. So are you saying there is no same subnet routing solution? Neal There's nothing to stop you from filtering on the bridge. It works well for devices that have a need for same-subnet access but can't be filtered on the host (but there are plenty of other ways of doing so). A dumb bridge wouldn't gain you anything, of course. -- Interested in open source engine management for your Subaru?
