[KLUG Members] Quick openBSD question

[John Holland]

Please post the contents of /etc/hostname.* and /etc/bridgename.* , and the 
output of  netstat -nr, brconfig -a, and ifconfig -a.

The concept of routing does not exactly apply to a transparent, layer 2 
bridge.  All a bridge cares about is MAC addresses, not IP addresses.

OpenBSDs bridging is controlled by brconfig and, on boot, /etc/bridgename.*

See man brconfig
