Iam using Redhat Linux 7.2
My kernal version is 2.4.18-3
Iam new to linux.Iam trying to rum SCPS gateway in our testbed.For that I have to complie Linux 2.4.X
Before compiling the SCPS code, the underlying kernel support number must be enabled. The following supporting software must be obtained and installed from other sources if not already present on the system.
tun/tap modules from http://vtun.sourceforge.net/tun
brctl from http://bridge.sourceforge.net
In order to run the SCPS gateway under the Linux operation system via the TAP method, the following kernel configuration options must be enabled before configuring the SCPS software.
UNDER NETWORKING OPTIONS
802.1d Ethernet Bridging
UNDER NETWORKING DEVICE
Universal TUN/TAP device driver support
So I have my BRCTL working.I have also downloaded the tun/tap driver.
I would like to configure my kernal to enable ethernet bridging and universal TUN/TAP device driver support.I really dont know how to do it.
Please help me out.
Thanks
