/etc/network/interface file auto reset.

[Muhammad Yousuf Khan]

Hi guys,

i am using wheezy with libvirt virtualization i have configured a bridge
interface for that purpose.
i have statically set the bridge interface in interfaces file.
like this

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
allow-hotplug br0
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
#iface eth1 inet static
iface br0 inet static
        address 10.xx.xx.18
        netmask 255.xx.xx.xx
        network 10.xx.xx.0
        gateway 10.xx.xx.3
        broadcast 10.xx.xx.255
        dns-nameservers 10.xx.xx.8
        bridge_ports eth1
        bridge_stp off
        auto br0


now when ever i restart the wheezy server i shows me something like this.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface br0 inet dhcp
       bridge_ports eth1
        bridge_stp off
        auto br


and eventually my connection gets broken.
Please help.

Thanks,
MYK
