Hi there! I am using NetworkManager 1.0.4 on my linux box and have no success in configuring a setup that can be simplified to the following:
- create a software bridge - attach an ethernet device to the bridge - try to acquire a dynamic IPv4 address for the bridge using DHCP - if this fails configure the bridge with a static IPv4 address To achieve this I created three connections. At first for a bridge device that tries to automatically get an IPv4 address: [connection] id=bridge-auto uuid=34e70494-4022-4d29-b8c7-005577ecc04c interface-name=bridge0 type=bridge autoconnect-slaves=1 [ipv6] method=auto [ipv4] method=auto Then in analogy a connection for a bridge device with a static IPv4 address: [connection] id=bridge-manual uuid=95618056-bc23-4d23-adf9-d1de6de91645 interface-name=bridge0 type=bridge autoconnect-slaves=1 autoconnect-priority=-10 [ipv6] method=auto [ipv4] method=manual address1=192.168.3.37/24,192.168.3.254 And last not least the connection that enslaves the ethernet device to the software bridge: [802-3-ethernet] duplex=full [connection] id=eth-bridgeport uuid=b3f9ebf2-3200-11e5-a811-001e67119c5c type=802-3-ethernet slave-type=bridge master=bridge0 autoconnect=false Bringing one or the other bridge connection up manually everything works as expected. If instead NetworkManager cares about bringing up the connections automatically it first tries 'bridge-auto' (default autoconnect-priority=0). So far so good. But if it fails to acquire a dynamic IPv4 address NetworkManager does not try connection 'bridge-manual' which should be the next (autoconnect- priority=-10). Why? What am I doing wrong? How can I achieve the setup that I outlined in the beginning?
