====== Creating an ethernet bridge in Linux (Ubuntu). ====== Remove IP addresses from NIC's. Then create and set ethernet bridge to automatically get an IP address via DHCP (or a similar configuration) in order to enable bridging and making the bridge act as a single NIC. * sudo ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 * sudo ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 * sudo brctl addbr mybridge * sudo brctl addif mybridge eth0 * sudo brctl addif mybridge eth1 * sudo brctl stp mybridge on * sudo dhclient mybridge In case you need to renew your ip: (also useful when it comes to ordinary NIC's like eth0 / eth1). sudo dhclient mybridge -r sudo dhclient mybridge And as always - Remember - Man is your best friend!
