Bridge without an IP address

Post by andsal » 2021/05/20 15:24:48

Hello,
I'm configuring an hypervisor machine equipped with two NICs, one connected to our private network and the other to the Internet.
I created a bridge for the NIC connected to the Internet, so to set up network interfaces with a public IP on the VMs.
However, I would like to leave the bridge without an IP address. Also I would prefer to apply the configuration via the Network Manager.
The only way I found to configure the bridge without an IP address via the NetworkManager is to set its IP address to 0.0.0.0/32.
Is it safe to do so? Could this lead to some sort of network conflicts? Do you know any better method?
Thanks in advance!
