To remove an IP address from eth0:
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
To add an IP address to bri:
ifconfig bri 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
where 192.168.0.2 is the correct IP address and 255.255.255.0 is the
correct netmask. You may need to configure a default gateway also:
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
where 192.168.0.1 is the gateway's address.

A bridge is a virtual Ethernet switch. A "fake bridge" is used to
support Linux-like VLAN bridging, as explained in the manpage under
"Linux VLAN Bridging Compatibility".
An interface is a network device such as eth0 or bri. A port is an
interface or a bonded set of two or more interfaces.
