Bridged networking to Windows VM from linux host
Hi folks
I created a working bridge to a physical NIC as per :
[root@hestur hrafn]# ifconfig enp2s0f1 0.0.0.0
[root@hestur hrafn]# brctl addbr br0
[root@hestur hrafn]# brctl addif br0 enp2s0f1 <==== one of my NIC physical interfaces -
[root@hestur hrafn]# dhclient br0 <==== activates OK
The NIC in the VM simply uses br0 as shared device name br0 device model virtio -- works fine
however the br0 is lost again at re-boot so I have to type the above networking commands in each time
anybody know how to make this persistent
Host is Linux using KVM VM is Windows latest build from uupdump -working perfectly fine
Cheers

Two things come to mind, ifconfig is depreciated try searching for iproute2 or netplan is probably easier to config with with a yaml file located /etc/netplan.
You did not mention what version of Linux you are using so this post maybe meaningless.

Hi there arch linux kernel 5.4.6 -- also tested on Fedora rel 31. Networking is pretty standard across almost every Linux distro --after all networking was (and still is) one of its major strong points. I believe it should be the same on ubuntu as well.
ifconfig is fine for just giving a quick info of what your interfaces are it's an easy command although there's all sorts of other tools to use.
cheers

It looks like Arch also uses netplan but I am not sure where you would would edit a file for networking that is persistent, Just a quick Google search seems to suggest a few editable files in
Code:
/etc/systemd/network/
It looks like there are separate files for wired and wireless devices, I have only tried Ubuntu and mint so far and right now only use a Ubuntu server for both of my own local DHCP and DNS servers I may try Arch or Fedora one rainy day in the future just for something to do.
Searching for netplan and iproute2 should get you on the right track though.
EDIT: Looks like dhclient might be depreciated too in both arch and fedora
Linux for Wireless Engineers: How to Use DHCP Hooks
DHCLIENT Hooks
dhclient is the older of the two, and is actually getting
deprecated. Newer Linux distributions are migrating to dhcpcd. However, it's been the main
DHCP client for at least two decades, and it's going to be a while until it disappears completely.
