Dear all,
I am trying to unite two network segments with a bridge so that they act as though they are one, with broadcast traffic passing freely between them. I'm using OpenVPN in its point-to-point mode, unencrypted, to connect the two across a third segment to which both have access. Diagram attached.
I followed
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/76-ethernet-bridging.html, and things have gone relatively well. When A pings B, I see an ARP request sent from A appear on eth2 on the far side (wireshark attached to eth2) - clearly the near side has picked up the broadcast, sent it across the tunnel, and placed it on the segment that is connected to eth2. B doesn't receive it (and consequently doesn't reply, so A can't work out where to send the echo request to). The same is true in reverse - the packets get to the real NIC on the far side, but don't seem to appear on the wire. All machines are CentOS 6.5 running on ESXi.
I have ip_forward = 1, rp_filter = 0, and the firewall is off (no rules and all policies are ACCEPT. Can anyone make any suggestions as to how I might proceed?
Thanks
