hi,
when we want to setup a bridge without a ip address, function
do_ifup will not activate the bridge.
Eg.
# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:B9:41:2C:B9
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:5096 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:395457 (386.1 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:16
# ./network-bridge start netdev=eth1 bridge=xenbr1
will leave xenbr1 inactive.
We should make the bridge active, then vif-bridge can work on the bridge.
