Set up Linux let the bridge run Configure the bridge
We need to let Linux know the bridge, first tell it, we want a virtual Ethernet Bridge interface: (this will be performed on the host bridge, not a clear look at the test scenario)
[Email protected]:~> brctl ADDBR br0
Second, we don't need STP (spanning Tree Protocol) and so on. Because we have only one router, it is absolutely impossible to form a ring. We can turn this feature off. (This can also reduce packet contamination in the network environment):
[Email protected]:~> brctl STP br0 off
After these preparations, we can finally do something immediate. We add two (or more) Ethernet physical interfaces, meaning: we attach them to the newly generated logical (virtual) bridge interface Br0.
[Email protected]:~> brctl addif br0 eth0
[Email protected]:~> brctl addif br0 eth1
Now, our two Ethernet physical interfaces turned out to be two logical ports on the bridge. The two physical interfaces used to exist and the future will not disappear. If you don't believe me, go check it out. Now they are part of the logical bridge device, so the IP address is no longer required. Now let's release these IP addresses.
[Email protected]:~> ifconfig eth0 down
[Email protected]:~> ifconfig eth1 down
[Email protected]:~> ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
[Email protected]:~> ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up

All right! We now have a box w/o with no IP address. OK, so if you want to configure your firewall or router with TP, you can only go through the local control port. You're not going to tell me you don't have a serial port on your machine, do you?
Note: The red part above is actually optional, in the experiment, I found that even if the original network card address is released, the bridge can also work! However, in order to be more normative, or to avoid any inexplicable problem, it is best to do as required, to carry out these four steps!

Finally, enable the Network Bridge [email protected]:~> ifconfig br0 up

Optional: We assign an IP address to this new bridge interface
[Email protected]:~> ifconfig br0 10.0.3.129

Or take the last two steps to synthesize one step:
[Email protected]:~> ifconfig br0 10.0.3.129 up
Just one more up!.

We're done here.
Close the bridge command

Brctl Delif Ena eth1;
Brctl Delif ena eth0;
Ifconfig ena down;
Brctl DELBR Ena;
