| - | This tutorial is for Debian users who want to create network bridges, or virtual switches, on production hosts. These bridges can be used to pass traffic upstream to virtual appliances of all types. In the different bridge scenarios I cover in this tutorial, the intent is to pass traffic to Debian VMs which either run services for my business infrastructure and/or direct services for clients (usually some form of web hosting). I have two production servers: | + | ====== Introduction ====== |

I typically run virsh+qemu and run VMs for a variety of services such as but not exclusive to private clouds, websites, mail servers, relays, etc. For this reason, it's imperative that the networking setups be solid and that I have good documentation of them.
