However, in the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf folder, I
don't see my "public" bridge, only the private one. Incidently, the
private one is the only bridge in my system that has an IP address
asigned to it...
Ok. May I ask what is your kernel version ? Older than 2.6.21 ?
Linux xx.xx.xx.xx 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Jul 1 19:41:05 EDT
2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
As I expected. A change occured in 2.6.21, recent kernels automatically
link interfaces to the IP stack.
So in my case, am I at a disadvantage
On the contrary, the old behaviour is an advantage if you don't want an
interface to participate in IP operation.
Excellent! If I were to upgrade at a later date, is it just a matter of
making sure that everything returns 0 in the above files?
