Google did not turn up much on this so I figured I would come to the source. I got my bridge working great. I wanted to know, how do I make the setting persistent? So when I reboot the machine, the bridge comes up and is operational automatically. Basically I followed the directions off of the site. I am not running STP. My bridge does have a private ip.

Thanks,

Hugh

Add all the commands you run to build your bridge to a script & execute that script when you startup. Look for a file somewhere in /etc called, say, rc.local. Really, where you put the commands depends on your distro.
