These machines are all running Linux Mint 21. I've tried configuring a bridge across the dual nic by adding a file to /etc/network/interfaces.d/ called bridge.
Code: Select all
auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback
iface enp1 inet manual
iface enp2 inet manual
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports enp1 enp2
address 192.168.7.1
broadcast 192.168.7.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.7.254
More importantly, I'm having issues with the gigabit internet connection on the bridged machine (server). I can ping devices on the local gigabit network from the server but can't reach any websites. It almost seems that DNS is the culprit but I can't reach pages with their ip address either. Furthermore, mentioning a network interface in the interfaces/d file appears to cause the interface to disappear from the network settings GUI in Mint. (Yes, I'm running a desktop on the server) If I try to configure the gigabit nic via the interfaces.d file I still can't get working internet, even when setting the DNS server there.
I'm looking for a solution to get all the networks working.
