I'm trying to configure a persistent bridge through /etc/network/interfaces. My configuration is as follows: iface ens192 inet manual auto br0 iface br0 inet static bridge_ports ens192 #address 10.60.0.20/24 #gateway 10.60.0.1 However, this returns the following errors: ifup[742]: Cannot find device "br0" ifup[742]: ifup: failed to bring up br0 I noticed that this occurs because I did not install the deprecated package "bridge-utils", since Debian comes with iproute2, which already creates bridges. If I install bridge-utils, it works. It doesn't make sense to me that "ifup" depends on a deprecated package that has already been replaced by iproute2. If I create a bridge directly using "ip link add name br0 type bridge" it works normally, but I want to leave it in etc/network/interface so that it is a persistent and automatic configuration. Please, I need some help with this because I don't believe that Debian forces us to install a deprecated package.
