It is useful for LXC/KVM/Xen/Containers virtualization and other virtual interfaces. The virtual interfaces appear as regular hosts to the rest of the network. In this tutorial I will explain how to configure a Linux bridge with bridge-utils (brctl) command line utility on Ubuntu server. + +### Our sample bridged networking + +![](http://s0.cyberciti.org/uploads/faq/2016/07/my-br0-br1-setup.jpg) +>Fig.01: Sample Ubuntu Bridged Networking Setup For Kvm/Xen/LXC Containers (br0) + +In this example eth0 and eth1 is the physical network interface. eth0 connected to the LAN and eth1 is attached to the upstream ISP router/Internet. + +### Install bridge-utils + +Type the following [apt-get command][1] to install the bridge-utils: + +``` +$ sudo apt-get install bridge-utils +``` + +OR + +```` +$ sudo apt install bridge-utils +``` + +Sample outputs: + +![](http://s0.cyberciti.org/uploads/faq/2016/07/ubuntu-install-bridge-utils.jpg) +>Fig.02: Ubuntu Linux install bridge-utils package + +### Creating a network bridge on the Ubuntu server + +Edit `/etc/network/interfaces` using a text editor such as nano or vi, enter: + +``` +$ sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bakup-1-july-2016 +$ sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces +``` + +Let us setup eth1 and map it to br1, enter (delete or comment out all eth1 entries): + +``` +# br1 setup with static wan IPv4 with ISP router as gateway +auto br1 +iface br1 inet static + address 208.43.222.51 + network 255.255.255.248 + netmask 255.255.255.0 + broadcast 208.43.222.55 + gateway 208.43.222.49 + bridge_ports eth1 + bridge_stp off + bridge_fd 0 + bridge_maxwait 0 +``` + +To setup eth0 and map it to br0, enter (delete or comment out all eth1 entries): + +``` +auto br0 +iface br0 inet static + address 10.18.44.26 + netmask 255.255.255.192 + broadcast 10.18.44.63 + dns-nameservers 10.0.80.11 10.0.80.12 + # set static route for LAN + post-up route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 gw 10.18.44.1 + post-up route add -net 161.26.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 10.18.44.1 + bridge_ports eth0 + bridge_stp off + bridge_fd 0 + bridge_maxwait 0 +``` + +### A note about br0 and DHCP + +DHCP config options: + +``` +auto br0 +iface br0 inet dhcp + bridge_ports eth0 + bridge_stp off + bridge_fd 0 + bridge_maxwait 0 +``` + +Save and close the file. + +### Restart the server or networking service + +You need to reboot the server or type the following command to restart the networking service (this may not work on SSH based session): + +``` +$ sudo systemctl restart networking +``` + +If you are using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or older not systemd based system, enter: + +``` +$ sudo /etc/init.d/restart networking +``` + +### Verify connectivity + +Use the ping/ip commands to verify that both LAN and WAN interfaces are reachable: +``` +# See br0 and br1 +ip a show +# See routing info +ip r +# ping public site +ping -c 2 cyberciti.biz +# ping lan server +ping -c 2 10.0.80.12 +``` + +Sample outputs: + +![](http://s0.cyberciti.org/uploads/faq/2016/07/br0-br1-eth0-eth1-configured-on-ubuntu.jpg) +>Fig.03: Verify Bridging Ethernet Connections + +Now, you can configure XEN/KVM/LXC containers to use br0 and br1 to reach directly to the internet or private lan.
