Re: Bridge Interface Members

Yes.  You overwrite your first ifconfig_bridge0 setting with the second one.  These are shell variable initializations, not executable statements. There are various ways to fix the problem.  Try this for example: replace the second ifconfig_bridge0 line with: ipv4_addrs_bridge0=10.0.1.2/24
