Hello, currently I try to setup a bridge between two networks, the server is a CentOS 6.4 with a single NIC. But every time when I run bridge-start I can not connect to the server. My first fault was that I forget to add a default gateway to the bridge-start script, but also with the added gateway I can not connect to the server. It is also not possible to reach the network from the server after running the script. Here is my bridge-start script: [code] #!/bin/sh br="br0" tap="tap0" eth="eth0" eth_ip="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" eth_netmask="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" eth_broadcast="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" eth_gateway="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" for t in $tap; do openvpn --mktun --dev $t done brctl addbr $br brctl addif $br $eth for t in $tap; do brctl addif $br $t done for t in $tap; do ifconfig $t 0.0.0.0 promisc up done ifconfig $eth 0.0.0.0 promisc up ifconfig $br $eth_ip netmask $eth_netmask broadcast $eth_broadcast route add default gw $eth_gateway [/code] Thanks, TeyTey

Hello,

currently I try to setup a bridge between two networks, the server is a CentOS 6.4 with a single NIC. But every time when I run bridge-start I can not connect to the server. My first fault was that I forget to add a default gateway to the bridge-start script, but also with the added gateway I can not connect to the server. It is also not possible to reach the network from the server after running the script.

Here is my bridge-start script:

#!/bin/sh

br="br0"

tap="tap0"

eth="eth0"
eth_ip="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
eth_netmask="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
eth_broadcast="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
eth_gateway="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"

for t in $tap; do
    openvpn --mktun --dev $t
done

brctl addbr $br
brctl addif $br $eth

for t in $tap; do
    brctl addif $br $t
done

for t in $tap; do
    ifconfig $t 0.0.0.0 promisc up
done

ifconfig $eth 0.0.0.0 promisc up

ifconfig $br $eth_ip netmask $eth_netmask broadcast $eth_broadcast

route add default gw $eth_gateway
