I have a network topology as described in the linked image. Network Setup
I have a WiFi router on a private 10.12.12.1 network. An Ubuntu 20.04 box, on a Nvidia Jetson, is connected to the WiFi network with an IP address 10.12.12.z. The Nvidia Jetson has two physical eth0 and eth1 devices. I would like to connect a Debian Box that has a physical eth0 interface to the eth1 interface on the Nvidia Jetson.
I am not exactly clear on the networking terminology but I have started by bridging wlan0 and eth1 on the Ubuntu 20.04 using a netplan configuration as follows:
network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager ethernets: eth1: dhcp4: no dhcp6: no wifis: wlan0: dhcp4: no access-points:"******": password: "******" bridges: br0: interfaces: [eth1, wlan0] dhcp4: true dhcp6: no
I am unclear what my next steps should be after this point?
I assigned a static IP to the Debian box along with subnet etc. At this point I cannot ping the Debian box. Am I supposed to assign an IP address to the physical interface on the ubuntu box? I did not think so because I thought the bridge basically makes the wlan0 and eth1 as a br0 device with the IP address being assigned to br0. Here are some outputs from bridge related commands.
CMD PROMPT>$ brctl show br0bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfacesbr0 8000.2046a10bbe78 yes eth1CMD PROMPT$> bridge link 7: rndis0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 master l4tbr0 state disabled priority 32 cost 100 8: usb0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 master l4tbr0 state disabled priority 32 cost 100 12: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 master br0 state forwarding priority 32 cost 100
I would appreciate a nudge in the right direction to make this a proper setup.
