[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,

I have see that my machine have an interface that named virbr0. I have no idea what is it and what it using for ? I am not configured any IP address for it but I see it had an IP address and see it listed in firewall config. Can anyone give me an explanation about this or point me to a document that describe it ?

My machine running CentOS 5.2 and do not have internet connection from the installation time.

Thanks,


virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
