This procedure will guide you through the configuration of interface bridging on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 server.
This document assumes that:
- you installed the RHEL 8 x64 Operating System according to How to install RHEL 8 via kickstart
- you are performing these tasks as root
- you are performing these tasks in order, as some tasks require others to be completed first
- your network device is a Cisco Nexus
