Issues Starting Bridge

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi,

I am having issues starting a new bridge I created (ifcfg-br0). For some reason, eth0 keeps trying to start (even though it is set for hotplug … right?), and hands the network start process. It seems to get stuck starting 21-cifs for eth0, so the bridge (br0) never starts.

Suggestions?

My if-cfg files are below.

Thanks!

ifcfg-br0:
STARTMODE=‘auto’
BOOTPROTO=‘dhcp4’
BROADCAST=’’
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=’’
IPADDR=’’
MTU=’’
NAME=‘OpenVPN Ethernet Bridge’
NETMASK=’’
NETWORK=’’
REMOTE_IPADDR=’’
USERCONTROL=‘no’
BRIDGE=‘yes’
BRIDGE_PORTS=‘eth0’

ifcfg-eth0:
BOOTPROTO=‘static’
BROADCAST=’’
ETHTOOL_OPTIONS=’’
IPADDR=‘0.0.0.0’
MTU=’’
NAME=‘L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter’
NETMASK=’’
NETWORK=’’
REMOTE_IPADDR=’’
STARTMODE=‘hotplug’
USERCONTROL=‘no’

Sorry, “hands” should be “hangs” above … :-(.

Not sure why eth0 is starting, as br0 never gets started.

Thanks!

Hi,

FYI, I was able to fix this - by setting eth0 to manual (not auto or hotplug). Not sure if this is really right or not - feel free to comment.

Thanks.
