Hi,
I have a fc14 box with two interfaces that I'm having some difficulty
setting up a bridge properly. I have a few kvm guests set up and
running, but I've switched from using NetworkManager to using standard
networking with a bridge. I've modified the ifcfg-eth0 and created
ifcfg-br0 as per the standard documentation, but I think I'm having
routing problems. This is what the network looks like:

I've left out the loopback for simplicity. The problem is that I can't
reach the br0 device from a server on the eth1 device (the 192.168.
network).
Is this a routing issue? Should I also add the eth1 device to the
bridge? If so, how would I do that?
Also, can you explain under what circumstances a tun device would be
used? Does that have any relation to bridging?
Thanks,
Alex

The problem is that I can't > reach the br0 device from a server on the eth1 device (the 192.168. > network).Since the bridge is attached to the 68.195 network, you won't be able to reach it from the 192.168.1 network unless this system (or another one) is configured as a router. To use it as a router you will need to enable net.ipv4.ip_forward in /etc/sysctl.conf (echo '1' > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward) and then either run a dynamic routing protocol or setup static routes on any other system that wants to reach it from the 192.168.1 network. The static routes for 68.195.xxx should point at 192.168.1.1. Nataraj> Is this a routing issue? Should I also add the eth1 device to the > bridge?
