Hi all, I have a problem with an ubuntu lucid 10.04 server used for KVM virtualization. My problem appears when I try to configure an "empty" bridge in /etc/network/interfaces file. For example, with a RedHat based distro (RHEL, CentOS) I can create a config file ifcfg-br20 like this:
DEVICE=br20 TYPE=Bridge ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 STP=off NM_CONTROLLED=no and then network startup script creates an empty bridge without bind any physical interface. I have tried same procedure to configure several empty bridges under ubuntu without luck: auto intprodif iface intprodif inet static bridge_stp off bridge_fd 9 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 When i try to start this bridge with "ifup intprodif" command returns me this error: car...@silmaril:~$ sudo ifup intprodif Don't seem to be have all the variables for intprodif/inet. Failed to bring up intprodif. How can I define an empty bridge without binding any physical interface into it?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
