Hello, I am creating a bridge between a physical line and a virtual one to provide communication to a client partition, but I cannot find how to do it for a power10. I believe that in order to create the bridge, the way of creating the virtual bridge has already changed. Is there more current information about this procedure? Regards.

Hello @Miguel Peralta,

I believe you are talking about Layer-2 bridging here where physical ethernet and virtual ethernet adapter can receive traffic. Frames transmitted by virtual Ethernet adapters on the same VLAN as the bridging virtual Ethernet adapter can be sent to the physical network. Frames sent from the physical network can be received by adapters on the virtual network. 

Please refer to the below article. The steps shown here is a bit old but the concepts and the process should be same.
