Marcus, In my case , I did not do any changes to the existing bridges after a fresh install of Rhel 6.3 and assumed that cloud stack will create the required bridges. Is this assumption valid ? If this is not the case then we will make sure that 'cloudbr0' and 'cloudbr1' bridges get created before adding the hosts to cloudstack.

In reviewing the cloudstack 4.0 installation docs, section 8.1.7: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.0-incubating/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html "In order to forward traffic to your instances you will need at least two bridges: public and private. By default these bridges are called cloudbr0 and cloudbr1, but you do have to make sure they are available on each hypervisor. The most important factor is that you keep the configuration consistent on all your hypervisors." and "The goal is to have two bridges called 'cloudbr0' and 'cloudbr1' after this section. This should be used as a guideline only. The exact configuration will depend on your network layout." So anyone following the docs would be expected to have a cloudbr1 and everything would work. It seems that maybe you've set up an environment where you have configured everything to use cloudbr0, which is fine for a custom setup, and then upgraded to master and wiped out the custom settings?
