No, the one has an IP, the other (which is the one SIMH talks to) doesn't
as the IP "exists" in VMS, not at the host level.
bridging bridge everything or just ip? If it just bridge ip you might   need to have IP addresses on both TAP interfaces for it to be happy.   Check all the details you can find on how the bridge stuff works under   Solaris.
TAP is the raw ethernet interface, it bridges raw ethernet frames, not IP,
so it *should* just do the right thing. (Like that guy does on linux with it)
That's the theory anyway. :-D

Yes, but I'm not talking about the TAP interface per se, but of the bridging function. How does that work... Does it bridge any ethernet frame, or does it only bridge ip packets...
