Configuring bridge interfaces

To build a bridge interface, the bridge-utils package is required. The bridge interface should be configured in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ to be automatically started by the network service or by the ifup command.

For example, to build a bridge interface br0 over the eth0 and eth1 interfaces, the following configuration files can be used:

  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0:
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BRIDGE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
  • /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:
DEVICE=eth1
BRIDGE=br0
ONBOOT=yes

Note: the bridge service does not exist anymore as of Mandriva Linux 2007.1
