<div dir="ltr">Narahari, <div><br></div><div>Device that are with things like bond, teaming, or bridges will never have an ip, unless you did something set eth0 to get ip automatically, I done it. The mac address will the same because you are using that device again for bond, teaming, or bridge. Networking needs a physical device to be used with the software side for what you are using it, where to send the network traffic and again what to do with it. Like bridge your virtual devices traffic to that bridge device, in your case. It gets fun when you doing teaming and take like 4 x 10 GB nic and make on big pipe of 40GB that are all active. Or you setting up Bonding so that if you lost a nic, you are setup up because software understand that if the primary goes down, to switch traffic over to the secondary. Of course you can have your mind blow that when you use other network software iptables/ufw and one nic is marked as a wan and other as a lan, where traffic goes. Networking is fun. <br><br>Example <br><br>Debian using wicked network setting <br><br>auto vmbr0<br>iface vmbr0 inet static<br> address <a href="http://192.168.1.2/24">192.168.1.2/24</a><br> gateway 192.168.1.1<br> bridge-ports enp8s0 <-- The physical Device being used. <br> bridge-stp off<br> bridge-fd 0</div><div><br></div><div>You can use brctl to show what devices are connected, by the way you could have as many bridge devices as physical nics.

Bridging a lot easier now-a-days, use too, you have to have basically write a script to setup the bridge, turn on bridge control, tree spanning so that you could have more than one virt go out that bridge, more. <br><br>I hope that helps, I am trying to explain from 30,000 Feet. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 2, 2023 at 6:18 PM Narahari Lakshminarayana via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Folks:<br><br></div><div>I am trying to get some networking knowledge.
