Requirements:
- Two Physical (Real) Network Card (NIC) (minimum)
- bridge-utils - This package contains utilities for configuring the Linux ethernet bridge.
1. Zero IP the interfaces.
# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
# ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
OR
# ifconfig eth0 up promisc
# ifconfig eth1 up promisc
2. Create the bridge interface.
# brctl addbr br0
3. Add interfaces to the bridge.
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# brctl addif br0 eth1
OR
# brctl addif br0 eth0 eth1
4. Put up the bridge.
# ifconfig mybridge up
5. The virtual interface br0 can also be configured to take part in network. It behaves like real interface (like a normal network card).
# ifconfig br0 192.168.200.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
Should I change something if I'm using https://www.softinventive.com/total-network-monitor/ for creating bridge? Or you are nor very common with this software ?
ReplyDeletenot familiar with that software, but you do not need to change anything for creating bridge on linux
