Re: hotpluggable member of a bridge

[Joshua Schaeffer <jschaeffer0922@gmail.com>]

A sample configuration would be:

allow-ovs br0
iface br0 inet4 static
        address …
        netmask …
        ovs_type OVSBridge

allow-br0 eth0
iface eth0 inet6 auto
        ovs_type OVSPort
        ovs_bridge br0

allow-hotplug usb0
iface usb0 inet6 auto
        ovs_type OVSPort
        ovs_bridge br0

Reco

Pardon my ignorance, can you explain why you set an IPv4 address on your bridge and an IPv6 address on your bridge interfaces? I've never seen this before and would like to know what this accomplishes. Perhaps its a typo as I thought IPv4 was just set with "inet" and IPv6 was set with "inet6".

Thanks,
