Hi guys!

I am trying to understand the concept of bridging because I want to start using OVS. I am using brctl to create the bridges. Once I create the bridge (br0), I add eth0 interface and then I cannot ping my gateway anymore . Why? I also executed "ifconfig br0 up" and even gave the bridge an IP but I still cannot ping. Could somebody explain me why and how could I continue to make the ping work?

Thanks
