Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.5.9
Severity: important
If you can add an example similar to the following that would be helpful
If I can add,
"# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet manual
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
"
+- bridge_ addtional options
^ It should be necessary to throw in an example with "eth0" defined
since NM's documentation has,
Networkmanager.conf manpage states
"
[ifupdown]
This section contains ifupdown-specific options and thus only has effect
when using ifupdown plugin.
managed=false | true
Controls whether interfaces listed in the 'interfaces' file are managed
by NetworkManager. If set to true, then interfaces listed in
/etc/network/interfaces are managed by NetworkManager. If set to false,
then any interface listed in /etc/network/interfaces will be ignored by
NetworkManager. Remember that NetworkManager controls the default route,
so because the interface is ignored, NetworkManager may assign the
default route to some other interface. When the option is missing, false
value is taken as default.
"
Here if NM is installed, and there's a bridge that needs eth0 (eth0 is
not listed/defined in interfaces with "iface eth0 .."), then it's
possible NM might try to use it.
I suppose a working example can be of helpful benefit since it is hard
to predict what NM is doing. I may be wrong on this but I don't think
ifupdown/bridge-utils references documentation on this.
If I recall this package previously had examples that were particularly
helpful and I'm not sure where they went so can someone re-add them back
? :)
thanks
