Bridge and Default Eth Same IP

Posted on December 8, 2007 by nseidm1.
Categories: bridge, ethernet, ip.

When configuring your network, bridges, and taps you want your default Ethernet card to have the same static ip address as the bridge you create in /etc/network/interfaces. Doing so you will have internet access on the host and guest systems. Within the guest system configure the interfaces to be one numerical value higher in order to avoid conflict with the host.
