Changes
Added note to hard-code the MACADDR on the brN interfaces.
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
MACADDR=mm:mm:mm:mm:mm:mm
Similarly, ifcfg-br1 should look like:
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
MACADDR=nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
Note that TYPE 'Bridge' is case-sensitive. Otherwise, the bridge interfaces will not initialize correctly during boot.
The bridge MACADDR should be hard-coded to match the corresponding hardware MAC address of the ethernet interface. Otherwise the default behaviour is to use the lowest MAC address of all the interfaces in the bridge. This is to prevent the bridge MAC and any auto-configured IPv6 address on the bridge interface from changing as VEs are created, started, or stopped.
4. On the host, do a 'service network restart' and verify the host has both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity to its brN interfaces.
