Hi,

I was trying to setup QoS for my network in my machine. It had a 
Ethernet interface connected to a cisco switch. I connected one more 
interface on to the same switch and setup and bridge, zeroed out both 
the interfaces and assigned my old ip to the bridge interface. After 
this when I pinged outside, all the lights in my switch started blinking 
fast. I immediately pulled the network cable from my box.

Is the configuration I attempted "legal"? Is their any problem with 
bridges and Switchs? When a packet comes to bridge ip, which interface 
does it go? I am bit confused!

Thanks for your help
