Package: bridge-utils Version: 1.5-9 Severity: normal Dear maintainer,
On one particular host, bridge-utils insists upon fetching an IP via the wrong interface. It uses the MAC address of eth1 even though the connection to the outside world comes via eth0. My /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports all allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet manual allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet manual If there is a way to ensure that the brdige always connects to the outside world via eth0, I seem to have missed it. Can you help? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bridge-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u7 bridge-utils recommends no packages.
