I make the physical ethernet port on the host be a part of the bridge (and force the bridge to use the same MAC address as the physical port), so there is always one member of the bridge. Then the virtual ethernet ports in the virtual machines are made part of the same bridge. Here's my notes on how I first set things up with network manager (when I finally broke down and started using network manager :-). nmcli con show nmcli con add ifname br0 type bridge con-name br0 nmcli con add type bridge-slave ifname eth0 master br0 nmcli con down "Wired connection 1" nmcli con up br0 nmcli con show nmcli con mod br0 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes nmcli con mod br0 bridge.mac-address nnn... nmcli con modify br0 bridge.stp no That last step of turning off stp is important to make the network start rapidly. Depending on how someone else would use it the ignore auto dns may not be appropriate. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
