Hi,

Using Ansible 2.1.0.0 I'm trying to create a bridge br0 on a CentOS 7 host to replace its standard eth0 interface (dhcp). The nmcli examples don't cover a bridge so I tried to follow the logic for bonds. The snippet below does not work, meaning no ifcfg\_br0 and ifcfg\_br0\_slave\_1 files are created and nmcli does not show any bridge connections yet Ansible says "changed" when run. Anyone have an idea how to create a bridge using the nmcli module?

TIA,  
Patrick

I too am having the same issue.

Using Fedora 25 with Ansible 2.2.1.0 to change network settings on Centos 7 64bit.

This is what I did.

What am I missing?
