Here's my notes from creating a bridge when I finally caved and went with network manager: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-add-network-bridge-with-nmcli-networkmanager-on-linux/ nmcli con show nmcli con add ifname br0 type bridge con-name br0 nmcli con add type bridge-slave ifname eth0 master br0 nmcli con down "Wired connection 1" nmcli con up br0 nmcli con show From fedora mailing list: nmcli con mod br0 ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes Also this: nmcli con mod br0 bridge.mac-address nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn (this makes sure the bridge looks like the same interface as the physical ethernet interface so DHCP still works). This all works, but takes forever to start. Found another web page that says I should turn off stp: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207379 The original page mentioned you could do that, but didn't say why you'd want to. Now I know why :-). nmcli con modify br0 bridge.stp no Holy chow! This seems to work, no more delay. I should try this at work :-). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
