AstLinux and Network-Bridges (BRIGSE0)
When you setup a network bridge in AstLinux, you need to careful to not lock out your network connection:
Q: When I enter BRIDGE0=“eth0 eth3”
in the user.conf and reboot, why is then eth0
not reachable over the network ?
A: You would also need to set (temporarily)
EXTIF="br0"
in your user.conf
. Then after a reboot the (new) bridge will appear in the menu in the Network tab, select br0
as normal and then remove the EXTIF
entry in user.conf
.
I know, a little confusing, but it's the only way since we have nice little drop-down menus of the “current” active interfaces.
Remember with a bridge, only the br0
is the “real Interface” the one you bring up and down and set IP address to. NOT eth0 or eth3 .
