Setting up network bridge for public traffic

[Fariborz Navidan <md...@gmail.com>]

Hello All,,

My KVM host has only one NIC which is connected to a router. My datacenter
has routed public IPv4 subnet via a tagged VLAN. My question is that should
I add primary interface eth0 as bridge slave to the bridge interface, or I
should create a VLAN tagged interface and add it to the bridge?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Will it work with single network bridge interface which it's slave is eth0
(server's primary network interface)?

Hi,

I think you can create a bridge without a vlan, and specify the public
vlan when you add public IP range.
