NOTE: I'm going on the assumption that you don't have IPs on these
interfaces.
Make sure you've actually brought the ALL the interfaces up.
$ sudo ifconfig bridge0 create
$ sudo ifconfig vr0 up
$ sudo ifconfig vr1 up
$ sudo brconfig bridge0 add vr0 add vr1 up
You can have this set at bootup by doing this:
$ sudo echo "up" > /etc/hostname.vr0
$ sudo echo "up" > /etc/hostname.vr1
$ sudo vi /etc/bridgename.bridge0
add vr0
add vr1
up
(According to the man page for bridgename.if, each argument must be on a
separate line)
For more information, type:
$ man ifconifg
$ man brconfig
$ man hostname.if
$ man bridgename.if
Hope this helps.
