Scope:  OpenVPN 2.2.0 on CentOS 5.6
Previously I documented the install of OpenVPN on Debian in a bridged configuration.  Later I installed a similar setup on CentOS 5.6 and found that some additional steps were required. As a place holder and reminder.... Create ifcfg-br0 file. cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
IPADDR=192.168.0.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
ONBOOT=yes
 Modify the ifcfg-eth0 file (or the interface file you are creating the bridge to) cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0TYPE=ETHERBRIDGE=br0ONBOOT=yes
  Set Scripts to run at start-up.
