No. The local port is the port with the same name as the bridge itself. On Sat, Mar 14, 2015 at 07:11:42PM +0300, Amer wrote: > Do you want me to give one of the Ethernet interfaces an IP address= the > bridge IP, without assigning this interface to the bridge. > > Best regards, > Amer > > م،

The br0 interface is labeled with LOCAL in bridge show table, How can I use it in the flow-rules. When wrote LOCAL I got an error saying LOCAL is not numerical value. Best regards, Amer ‏‫من جهاز الـ iPhone الخاص بي‬ ‫في ٢٣ جما١، ١٤٣٦ هـ، الساعة ٨:٠٩ م، كتب ‏Amer ‏:‬ > nano /etc/network/interfa
