I am using Debian and I am just trying to get a simple bridge going and connect the ethernet to it. It is an Intel NUC and the ethernet shows up as "eno1". I don't know why it doesn't come up as "eth0".
iface eno1 inet dhcp auto eno1 But, if I replace that with the following, it doesn't come up. allow-ovs br0 iface br0 inet dhcp ovs_type OVSBridge ovs_ports eno1 allow-br0 eno1 iface eno1 inet manual ovs_bridge br0 ovs_type OVSPort I check the system and when I look at the output of "ip address", it shows DOWN for interface "eno1". If I do the following from the command line, the bridge comes up and I get an IP address. The "#" indicates ran as root. # ip link set dev eno1 up # ovs-vsctl add-br br0 # ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eno1 # dhclient br0 Is there something I am missing in my interfaces file on Debian? brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ "There are two ways of constructing a software design.
