help i cant seem to get this right

Post by Fishbait » 2017/05/13 01:04:16

im trying to bridge my interfaces enp10s0, enp6s0f1, enp6s0f0, enp7s0f1, enp7s0f0, im trying to bridge those into br0. so far ive gotten as far as editing the ifcfg files, and disabling network manager but i keep running into fail to start lsb or something like that
i have a feeling im doing something wrong but there's so much documentation that i cant sort out what im doing wrong here,
so far my plan for this server
is
bridge lan interfaces (all wired ones but enp3s0 the wan iface)
add dhcp server
nat and enable internet sharing
add wifi
add file sharing with samba4
add dns cacheing forwarding server with bind9
add proxy server
squid
squidguard (for adblocking)
squidclamav(for antiviral protection)

im stuck here and trying to get it to bridge sucessfully
im just lost
and im trying to sort this out
can someone help me?

Do you really want to bridge 5 separate interfaces with one bridge? Are you sure you don't want to bond them and make them one link and then put a bridge on top of the bond? I don't actually see anything in your bucket list of things to do that would require a bridge at all. What is your real end goal?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

exactly that. to create a lan side that wifi joins to as one interface, and share the net to that one interface but since icant seem to bend centos to my will im going to go to debian since it seems that at least doesnt have some annoying quirk.

I still don't get it... Maybe the whole idea is broken, or ... I'm just too stupid to understand it.

I still don't understand a) what you're trying to do and b) why :-)

To me it looks like there is an attempt to use a CentOS box like a cheap consumer router device. A box that has one "WAN" port and a five-port "switch".

The "wifi" part I cannot fathom.
