[SOLVED] Bridged connection not connecting to desktop or laptop
by khanzol from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4H7TC)
Basic info:
The server is running Fedora 30 Server, no GUI, cockpit is operational
My desktop is running OpenSuse Tumbleweed
My laptop is running Windows 10 Pro
Enough intro, my issue:
My Fedora server has a surplus of ethernet ports, so im trying to use them as a switch by setting up bridged connections
Currently i have an AP plugged into one of the bridged ethernet ports and it is working as it should be. The issues arise once i try to bridge my desktop or my laptop. Plugging both into a bridged port activate the port and bridge, but viewing it in Cockpit shows that both systems are stuck on "Configuring IP" and i can't access the internet. Note that using the wifi from the AP (which is also plugged into a bridged port) works as it should.
Viewing logs show no errors or anything.
TL;DR bridged connection not working when connected to normal pc/laptop, what can i try to fix this.
Edit: AP no longer connecting D:
Edit2: Got AP working again by changing ipv6 settings, same fix doesnt work for other devices sadly
Fixed the issue.
I had eth7 and eth8 on their own bridges, bridge 0 and bridge1. I only had to move eth8 to bridge0 and delete bridge1, solving the issue.
