Debian: failing to add netwok bridge for kvm
Hi
I have a running debian server, netwok configured on eth0 with ip aaa.bbb.ccc.140
Now I want to add a bridge to use kvm on that server.
I add the following to /etc/network/interfaces:
iface br1 inet static
address aaa.bbb.ccc.186
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast aaa.bbb.ccc.255
network aaa.bbb.ccc.0
pre-up brctl addbr br1
As soon as I restart the networking service the network is not available anymore (not the ip configured for eth0 and not the one for br1 )
What would fix this, or what is the correct procedure to add a bridge for kvm?
(I can not experiment to much as it is a live system)
Thanks
