Hello Gentoo Forums,

Long time Debian/Devuan user - recently took the Gentoo plunge and up until my recently my only question was, "why didn't I do this sooner?" I've exhausted my own research capabilities and hope someone here can shine a light on a situation for me.

I've setup a bridge using /etc/conf.d/net, which was pretty straight forward. The bridge is working, br0 has an IP address and I have network connectivity, routes, etc. The problem is, a member of the bridge (eth1) is still receiving an IP address via DHCP despite setting config_eth1="null" in /etc/conf.d/net.

Here's my /etc/conf.d/net:
Code:

config_eth0="null"
config_eth1="null"
bridge_br0="eth1"
config_br0="10.50.20.113 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_br0="default via 10.50.20.1"
bridge_forward_delay_br0=0
bridge_hello_time_br0=1000


Here's the output of ifconfig:
Code:

sysop@localhost /etc $ ifconfig br0
br0: flags=4419<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.50.20.113  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.50.20.255
        ether 52:33:a4:fc:99:7f  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 83387  bytes 94215419 (89.8 MiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 56602  bytes 7720216 (7.3 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

sysop@localhost /etc $ ifconfig eth1
eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.50.20.128  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.50.20.255
        ether 71:51:3c:b7:2a:d9  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 100855  bytes 84403294 (80.4 MiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 53673  bytes 8092566 (7.7 MiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

sysop@localhost /etc $


As you can see, eth1 has an IP address and I'm not sure what else to look at. /etc/dhcpcd.conf doesn't have anything for eth1. I tried deleting /etc/init.d/net.eth1 but that didn't help, so I added it back. I think it's causing issues because there are also routes in place for eth1 and web apps keep saying "lost connection" or "check your internet connection" intermittently. 10.50.20.128 (eth1) is not allowed out by the upstream firewall, so perhaps Gentoo is trying to send packets out eth1, causing connection interruptions. Maybe a different issue.

Either way, how can I ensure eth1 doesn't pull an IP address via DHCP?

Code:
               dhcpcd |      default                           

This is your problem. Do not start dhcpcd in manager mode if you are doing it all via netifrc. It will assume control of all interfaces by default.
tl;dr answer: rc-service dhcpcd stop; rc-update del dhcpcd default

If you need "eth0" to use dhcp, then change the config_eth0="dhcp" and dhcpcd will be called the correct way per interface when net.eth0 is started.

Well that was simple enough, wow. Thank you! I'll review the handbook and my installation notes to see where I went wrong. Admittedly this is a little different than how Devuan handles it with /etc/network/interfaces so today I learned. Thanks again for the quick response.

You can use the following document, which has been very well commented : https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/netifrc.git/tree/doc/net.example.Linux.in
