Network bridge in ubuntu

[Ashley Simpson]

I have two network cards in my computer, which are connected to different networks, and I just want to bridge these networks. I have no idea how to make a network bridge in ubuntu. Can anyone suggest me the correct way to make a bridge.

For making a bridge,you will have to take both adapters offline with the ifdown command. After that run sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifdown eth1 from the command line. Then, create a bridge with sudo brctl addbr bridge0. A new virtual network adapter named bridge0 is created by the addbr command . After that connect your real network adapters to the bridge with addif: sudo brctl addif bridge0 eth0 adds the first adapter, and sudo brctl addif bridge0 eth1 adds the second. Now, you are free to attach as many computers, hub, switches, and other devices as much you want. Now, they can communicate with each other. Thus, by following the above process, a network bridge can be esablished.

First of all, you need to download firestarter, after downloading, select your internet network, select your local network and now, check the box for share networks.

If we compare ubuntu with windows then according to me its very easy to make a bridge in ubuntu than windows. For the bridge, you will have to add, iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 eth1 to /etc/network/interfaces, then after rebooting the system, open the terminal window and then, run sudo ifup br0. This is how you can make bridge in ubuntu. Do let me know whether you got sucess or not? Gud day
