# From bridge-STP-HOWTO: |
|---|
| 3 |
# There is a number of rules you are not allowed to break (otherwise |
|---|
| 4 |
# your bridge will do). |
|---|
| 5 |
# * A port can only be a member of one bridge. |
|---|
| 6 |
# * A bridge knows nothing about routes. |
|---|
| 7 |
# * A bridge knows nothing about higher protocols than ARP. That's the |
|---|
| 8 |
# reason why it can bridge any possible protocol possibly running on |
|---|
| 9 |
# your Ethernet. |
|---|
| 10 |
# * No matter how many ports you have in your logical bridge, it's |
|---|
| 11 |
# covered by only one logical interface. |
|---|
| 12 |
# * As soon as a port (e.g. a NIC) is added to a bridge you have no |
|---|
| 13 |
# more direct control about it. |
|---|
| 14 |

| 15 |
# Note on brtcl options file. |
|---|
| 16 |
# If brctl file exists in interface directory, it will be processed like |
|---|
| 17 |
# iplink/ipv4address files with one exception. Current order of arguments |
|---|
| 18 |
# to brctl binary does not allow us to omit bridge name in brctl options |
|---|
| 19 |
# file. So you must either duplicate your bridge name in brctl options or |
|---|
| 20 |
# use AUTO to let setup-bri substitute it with current bridge name. |
|---|
| 21 |
### |
|---|
| 22 |
# With default values you will have your ethernet slaves up after bridge |
|---|
| 23 |
# shutdown. To have your ethers be shut down too, uncomment the following |
|---|
| 24 |
# setting, but remember to have IFDOWN_CHILDREN=no in all your slaves' |
|---|
| 25 |
# options file. |
|---|
| 26 |
#IFDOWN_PARENTS=yes |
