To do this, we install the package bridge-utils...
yum install bridge-utils
... and configure a bridge. Create the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 (please use the BOOTPROTO, BROADCAST, IPADDR, NETMASK and NETWORK values from the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file):
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
Modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 as follows (comment out BOOTPROTO, BROADCAST, IPADDR, NETMASK, and NETWORK and add BRIDGE=br0):
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
#BOOTPROTO=static
#BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
HWADDR=00:10:A7:05:AF:EB
#IPADDR=192.168.0.100
#NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
Restart the network...
/etc/init.d/network restart
... and run
ifconfig
It should now show the network bridge (br0):

I lose conectivity on eth0 when added to bridge any ideas? I stopped iptables so it's not a firewall issue.
Hi Zaguerinho,
If you follow above post then I dont thing so you'll have any issues, Please run the same again once more time and restart the network services.
