# Networking (out-of-date)

### Configuration

Because I don't want my main management interface to ever change names, I explicitly give it a name based on its MAC address.

```diff
# /etc/systemd/network/10-management-net.link
+ [Match]
+ MACAddress=70:85:c2:fe:4c:b7
+ 
+ [Link]
+ Name=man0
```

### Bridges

| Master | Bridge | IP Address  | Gateway  | Description |
|--------|--------|-------------|----------|-------------|
| man0   | vmbr0  | 10.0.2.5/21 | 10.0.2.1 | Main Interface (slower Realtek NIC) |
| enp6s0 | --     | --          | --       | Intel 10GbE SFP+ (used for PCI passthrough)
