How to bridge a connection in Linux and configure DHCP

#1 Post by Coenraad7 »

Hi, I just made this account thought i would get some help here because i searched on google and youtube for a while but I couldnt get a good answer on my question.

Im using Debian 8.2.0 btw

here we go...

I got a setup in Vmware workstation, its from school so they made me my own little network with a virtual switch and such

My schools Router goes from their Gigabit connection to my Server ( this is a Debian Server with 2 network card interfaces ), the incoming connection is on their DHCP so I already get an IP from them. But the second is my 'LAN' network. this connection goes from my Server to the switch which is attached with some other servers/workstations. On the Debian with 2 NiC's im trying to install DHCP. but im trying to install DHCP to work through my LAN but I cant get it to work.

If my story doesnt make sense I can retype it XD.

my problem :
Does someone know how to get those 2 NiC's bridged and get my DHCP to work.

Are you trying to set up a NAT router?
