Private Bridge

Overview

A private bridge is implemented as an isolated layer 2 network. Private bridge networks have no connectivity outside of the bridge.

All interfaces in the bridge are in the same layer 2 broadcast domain and set to the up state.

Private bridge: two VMs and a container connected to the same isolated bridge
