bridge and ip addresses on enslaved interfaces

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

 



In the documentation I’ve seen so far a bridge is created with no IP address for its enslaved interfaces and optionally with an IP address on the bridge interface. For example, I create a bridge like so:

 

brctl addbr br0

brctl addif br0 eth0

brctl addif br0 eth1

 

ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0

ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0

ifconfig br0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.0.0

 

 

This works fine. However if I do the following:

 

ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.0.0

ifconfig eth1 10.1.0.10 netmask 255.255.0.0

ifconfig br0 0.0.0.0

 

the bridge gets created but I can’t ping the IP addresses of the enslaved interfaces. With the above configuration I am assuming that the enslaved interfaces still behave independently of the bridge, can be assigned IP addresses and participate in routes. My question is whether this is supported and if I should expect it to work. If so, can someone point me to an example?

 

Thanks.
