This is ignored when the devicename is part of the vlan interface name.
From bridge-utils-interfaces(5): bridge_ports interface specification this option must exist for the scripts to setup the bridge, with it you specify the ports you want to add to your bridge, either using "none" if you want a bridge without any interfaces or you want to add them later using brctl, or a list of the interfaces you want to add separated by spaces, for example: bridge_ports eth0 eth4 You should not put any lines to configure the interfaces that will be used by the bridge, as this will be setup automatically by the scripts when bringing the bridge up. If you need to specify the interfaces more flexibly, you can use the following syn‐ tax (most useful on a Xen dom0): bridge_ports regex (eth|vif).* This means to evaluate (as in egrep(1)) the expressions that follow after "regex" until either the end or a "noregex" statement is reached. The regular expressions are evaluated against all local interfaces and those that match are added. Specifying "all" is short for "regex eth.* em.* p[0-9].* noregex" and will get all the ethX and biosdevname-format (emX and pX) interfaces added to the bridge. -- Hilsen/Regards Michael Rasmussen Get my public GnuPG keys: michael <at> rasmussen <dot> cc http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD3C9A00E mir <at> datanom <dot> net http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE501F51C mir <at> miras <dot> org http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xE3E80917 -------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/games/fortune -es says: If I were to walk on water, the press would say I'm only doing it because I can't swim. -- Bob Stanfield
