The following table shows a simple example of how to create a virtual bridge on Linux and how to add TAP interfaces to it using nmcli commands (NetworkManager command-line interface):

StepDescription
If needed, create a bridge and set a static IP address for it.# nmcli con add type bridge ifname mybr0 ipv4.method manual ip4 <ipaddr/mask>
If needed, activate bridge.# nmcli con up bridge-mybr0
If needed, add physical interface to bridge.# nmcli conn modify <physical-int-conn> master mybr0 slave-type bridge
Activate changes to interface.# nmcli conn up <physical-int-conn>

After the bridge has been created, you can use the initialize command in the emulator configuration to add the required TAP interfaces for the emulator to the bridge.
