## Create a bridge for each NIC

For each physical NIC (eno1, eno2, enp5s0f0, etc.) you need to create a Linux bridge and attach the NIC to it. Example for `eno2`:

```bash
sudo nmcli connection add type bridge ifname br1 con-name br1
sudo nmcli connection add type bridge-slave ifname eno2 master br1
```

Then bring it up:

```bash
sudo nmcli connection up br1
```
