Iirc, there is/was a bug where the bridge's file name had to sort 
*after* the slaved interfaces. So I always use 'vbrX' instead of 'brX' 
(virtual bridge). I don't think the actual DEVICE="..." matter, just the 
file name, but I like to make the match so I just do vbrX for both.

Here is an example of my bridges:

====
vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-vbr2
====
# Internet-Facing Network - Bridge
DEVICE="vbr2"
TYPE="Bridge"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPADDR="10.255.50.1"
NETMASK="255.255.0.0"
GATEWAY="10.255.255.254"
DNS1="8.8.8.8"
DNS2="8.8.4.4"
DEFROUTE="yes"
====

Then an example interface (I use bonds, but this could just as easily be 
a normal ifcfg-ethX)

====
vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond2
====
# Internet-Facing Network - Bond
DEVICE="bond2"
BRIDGE="vbr2"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
BOOTPROTO="none"
ONBOOT="yes"
BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 use_carrier=1 updelay=120000 downdelay=0 
primary=eth2"
====

Note that the IP moves to the bridge.
