Creating Bridged Interfaces (Mostly for KVM)

##THIS PAGE NEEDS MASSIVE BUILD-OUT AND REVISION

Very Simple Example of DHCP Interface Being Turned Into Bridge

• Assuming interfece em1 and bridge br0, in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1, modify to:

  # BOOTPROTO="dhcp" (or whatever protocol)
  BRIDGE=br0 (or whatever name)
  

• Assuming creation of bridge interface br0, create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0:

  DEVICE=br0
  BOOTPROTO=dhcp
  ONBOOT=yes
  TYPE=Bridge
  

• The good old systemctl restart network
