[SOLVED] Interface not added to bridge in CentOS 6.5

pingu · 05-12-2014, 09:40 AM

I'm installing CentOS-6.5 on a Dell R210 II to test oVirt.
After creating a bridge and configuring em1 for that bridge, the bridge comes up but without any interface.
I have to add it with "brctl addif ovirtmgmt em1" then everything is fine.
But after a reboot there's again no interface for the bridge.

I can't see where I'm going wrong?
I created the configfiles ifcfg-em1 & ifcfg-ovirtmgmt manually, NetworkManager is not installed, iptables is off, selinux is permissive.

Code:

[root@node1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1
DEVICE=em1
HWADDR=D0:67:E5:F3:5B:6F
Bridge=ovirtmgmt
UUID=e4c23576-7ef6-4f48-9672-e0d0b9892fb6
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no

Code:

[root@node1 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt 
DEVICE=ovirtmgmt
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.120.112
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.120.201
DNS1=192.168.120.201
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes

After a reboot:

Code:

[root@node1 ~]# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
ovirtmgmt               8000.d067e5f35b6f       no

Is the bridge in em1 not supposed to be all capitals? I always thought the directives left of the equal sign are to be. I know the options are case sensitive.

Does
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Agree with your naming convention? I had some strange behaviour on my bridge a while back that was caused by duplicate entries automatically being inserted into the rules set.

Maybe a typo in the uuid if manually typed? If you get rid of the uuid line is there any change?

But yes, I cannot pick anything obvious from your configs.

So before the fix does the bridge actually transmit data? Before the fix the bridge does have the correct mac address.

Yes of course!
Thanks, don't know how I could miss that but well, I did.
All capitals=problem solved.
