How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
/etc/network/interfacesbuild the bridge with only the primary ethernet adapter connected and the bridge gets the MAC address of the ethernet adapter. It's probably worth updating the question with how you're building it./dev/eno1in my case), but there are virtual VM network devices which get dynamically added and removed from it as VMs start and stop. The IP configuration of the bridge is in/etc/network/interfaces(as in your case). That worked so far, except for the problem with the MAC address. In the meantime, I could confirm that A.B's answer is correct./etc/network/interfaceson my Debian 11 machine I havebridge_hw enp2s0in thebr0definition.
