This article mainly introduces the use of linux brctl command Ethernet bridge management, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!

These separate ethernets are aggregated into a larger ("logical") Ethernet that corresponds to the bridge network interface.

Syntax format: brctl [parameters]

[root@linuxcool ~] # brctl addbr br10

Use the delbr parameter to delete the bridge:

[root@linuxcool ~] # brctl delbr br10

Use the show parameter to query bridge information:

[root@linuxcool ~] # brctl show

Enable the bridge STP:

[root@linuxcool ~] # brctl stp br10 on

Close the bridge STP:

[root@linuxcool ~] # brctl stp br10 off above is all the content of Ethernet bridge management using linux's brctl command, thank you for reading! Hope to share the content to help you, more related knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
