Impossible to create a bridge without a physical interface

[24box]

Hi,

FreeBSD allows you to create bridges without a physical interface. The interface must be added in the GUI if you want to create a bridge. Such a bridge is needed to create an internal network for jails or VMs.

Version: FreeNAS-11.3-U3.1

Sorry for my English

Best regards

You can create bridges not linked to a physical interface in the shell, e.g., ifconfig bridge1 create. However, I'm curious why you need to do this? The process of creating a jail or VM automatically creates the bridge for you.

Hi,

I need this topology :

Code:

WAN1 > bge0 > Brige0 > VM0 > Brige2 <> JAIL DB <> Brige4
WAN2 > bge1 < Brige1 > VM1 > Brige3 <> JAIL Bareos <> Brige4

I can manually create a bridge but I can't assign it in GUI. You need an option in the GUI to create a bridge without a physical interface .. this field should not be required.

Best regards

What if you want a private network not connected to the outside world between jails or VMs?
I use that quite a bit, although not in FreeNAS. So I haven't noticed it, yet.
