Hi,

Yes, if IP is not needed set the BOOTPROTO to none.

Hi,

well, I don't want br_tun to have an IP address as I don't want to use GRE
or VXLAN. Does this mean that BOOTPROTO should be none?


Thanks,

So here are some items I'd like to get your opinion on:

Unfortunately the documentation is sparse to none about
