Re: [CentOS-virt] Error setting up bridge with static IP address

I did some more reading on the Internet and it looks like I am supposed to set up the bridge on eth0 and configure the bridge with the IP address of the host.

So, I removed ifcfg-eth0:1 and changed ifcfg-eth0 to this: DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=[The MAC address] ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0

I removed ifcfg-br1 and created ifcfg-br0 with this content: DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.2.255 IPADDR=192.168.2.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.2.0 ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0

I don't get any errors when I do service network restart but now I can't ssh to the host using the 192.168.2.200 IP address.

I also tried setting these values in /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

and rebooting the machine. That did not help.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Neil
