bridge with virtual interface

I have a server running two subnets of 7. network on em3 and em3:0. I'm trying to install a KVM virtual server on the subnet that is associated with em3:0. I configured ifcfg-br-ex with:

Code:

DEVICE=br-ex

ONBOOT=yes

TYPE=Bridge

BOOTPROTO=none

IPADDR=7.217.207.252

PREFIX=25

STP=on

DELAY=2

and configured ifcfg-em3:0 with:

Code:

BOOTPROTO=none

TYPE=Ethernet

DEVICE=em3:0

BRIDGE=br-ex

but I can't ping anything on the 7.217.207.x network. Without the bridge it works. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Please tell how you solved this, for future searchers. And for me;) to learn from too:idea: Thanks.

Moved the subnet that needed the virtual server to the em3 nic and the one that didn't to the em3:0 nic. I'm not sure if a bridge can only work with a physical nic or not, but this worked for me. :)
