One thing what has worked for me on RH[89] is modification of a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 In it, you have the normal IP resolving stuff and then add some script at the end (this file is acutally sourced). In example, if br0 was eth0 and eth1 and your IP was dhcp: DEVICE=br0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp if [ "$0" = "/sbin/ifup" -o "$0" = "./ifup" ] ; then ip link set eth0 up ip link set eth1 up brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 brctl addif br0 eth1 fi if [ "$0" = "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-post" ] ; then brctl delbr br0 ip link set eth0 down ip link set eth1 down fi --- Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, 5 May 2005 16:06:59 -0600 > Scott Ellerbrock <sellerbrock@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > I am sorry for the newbie question.
