General Questions

Can m0nowall act as a network bridge?  Back in the day I had an old DEC Network Bridge that I used to help quiet things down on an overused network between some systems.  I have a problem now where I have a bunch of broadcasts causing resets on a port.  I need to quiet it down quick until I can get a permanent solution in.  Figured maybe m0n0wall could do it.  No NAT, just pass through but not letting these broadcasts hammer the box on the other side.

Thank you,

Jason

Broadcasts go through a bridge.  That is the point.  A bridge is a layer 2 device, like a switch.  You need seperated routed segments.  And yes, m0n0wall can do this.  You will need a static route in your main firewall, and turn off NAT in m0n0wall, and open reasonable ports back in.
