Title: What is BR0?
Post by: garak0410 on Friday 17 May 2013, 12:47:14 am
Forgive me but what is the BR0 interface? I have three physical interfaces (ETH0, ETH1 and ETH2). BR0 is in a constant, heave use state on my graph and our internet speeds are horrid right now.

Thanks...
Brian

The BR means "bridge".  BR0 is a virtual interface which I'm guessing is used to bridge traffic between green and red.  I don't understand the internal workings of the firewall's programming well enough to tell you exactly how it is used, but know that it is normal for the interface to exist.  The red interface and bridge should have similar traffic amounts, assuming you don't have other ports and you are not being attacked.
