I wanted to set up a bridge connection for my VMs (I am using KVM).
I modified my etc/network/interfaces
file and its contents are:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off
After modifying the etc/network/interfaces
file I wanted to make them active so I run the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
but I got the following output:
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces
so I tried restarting network by the following command:
sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start
I get the following output:
stop: unknown instance:
If I do :
sudo service networking start
I get :
networking stop/waiting
and my net has stopped working after that. I am using Ubuntu 12.04
and have a wired DHCP connection.
Please try to resolve this issue so that I can successfully configure bridge for my VMs and get back my net connection.
