Layer 2 arp snooping without Layer 3?

Subject: Layer 2 arp snooping without Layer 3?
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:13:54 -0500
I've been playing with arp poisoning lately and had some questions about arp 
poisoning without layer 3.

Is it possible to configure a linux system with one NIC to act as a layer 2 
bridge instead of using IP forwarding (layer 3)?

I can poison another systems arp cache to come to my MAC address for its 
default gateway, but I'd like to do mitm snooping without my NIC having an IP 
address signed.

Just asking if this is a possibility to configure linux bridging to route 
traffic destined for my MAC to be routed back out at layer 2 to the real 
default gateway MAC.

I've been playing around with setting up a layer 2 bridge (bridge-utils) on 
linux, but not sure if I can say, all packets that arrive to my bridge via arp 
poisoning will be re-routed out to the default gateway MAC to keep the victims 
network from halting due to lack of layer 3 (no ip address to forward through).
