									  If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  Several such bridges can work together to create even larger
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  other third party bridge products.

							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt>
							 |

									  If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  take this into account when setting up your firewall rules.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see
							 |

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
									  bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain.
