Synopsis
bridge-utils enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated bridge-utils packages that add two enhancements are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The bridge-utils packages contain utilities for configuration of the Linux
Ethernet bridge. The Linux Ethernet bridge can be used to connect multiple
Ethernet devices together. This connection is fully transparent: hosts connected
to one Ethernet device see hosts connected to the other Ethernet devices
directly.
This update adds the following enhancements:
- The man page was missing the multicast option descriptions. This update adds
that information to the man page. (BZ#676355)
- This enhancement adds the missing feature described in the BRCTL(8) man page,
that allows the user to get the bridge information for a simple bridge using the
"brctl show $BRIDGE" command. (BZ#690529)
All users of bridge-utils are advise to upgrade to these updated packages, which
add these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
