Network Interface
Selection
Click the check box of each network interface you want to
include in the bridge.
Primary Interface Select the interface that is to be used for selecting the MAC
address of the aggregate. The new bond inherits the MAC
address of the primary interface. On creation, any Network
Connections which exist on the Primary Interface will be
attached to the Bond/Bridge after it is initially created. When a
Bond/Bridge is deleted, any Network Connections which exist
on the aggregate interface are handed over to the Primary
Interface.
Inherited
Connections
When the Primary Interface is selected, the connections inher-
ited by the new bridge are listed here.
