Bridge Network
A bridge setup that makes virtual workloads behave like separate hosts on the real network
Core Idea
A bridge network connects VM or container interfaces into the same Layer 2 network as a physical NIC. That makes each workload look more like a separate host on the real network than a hidden process inside one machine.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses bridge networks to explain how Proxmox guests gain their own IP addresses and participate in VLANs, firewall boundaries, and exposure planning. It is one of the basic networking terms behind the entire virtualization series.
