To manage bridged interface you can use the brctl command. You can list all your bridged interfaces with brctl show. and add or modify bridges accordingly to your needs.
What is the virbr0 interface used for?
The virbr0, or “Virtual Bridge 0” interface is used for NAT (Network Address Translation). It is provided by the libvirt library, and virtual environments sometimes use it to connect to the outside network.
Do I need virbr0?
Do I need it? Virbr0 is used for virtualization purposes and acts as a switch you can connect your guests and your host if you are virtualizing. In my case, my LAB is virtualized, I won’t be using virtualization so I will disable the interface.
What is virbr0 in redhat?
On a Linux host server, the virtual network switch shows up as a network interface. The default one, created when the libvirt daemon is first installed and started, shows up as virbr0. It will act as a gateway for the VMs to route traffic. you may also remove this interface if not running any lxc containers.
What does virbr0 stand for?

Who creates virbr0?
libvirtd’s
The virbr0 bridge interface is created by libvirtd’s default network configuration. libvirtd is the service which provides a basis for the host to act as a hypervisor.
What is a Virbr?
virbr are bridge interfaces. They are virtual in that there’s no network interface card associated to them. Their role is to act like a real bridge or switch, that is switch packets (at layer 2) between the interfaces (real or other) that are attached to it just like a real ethernet switch would.

What is enp0s25?
If you’re wondering why it’s called enp0s25 on this system instead of the likely more familiar eth0, a little explanation is in order. The new naming scheme is referred to as the “Predictable Network Interface” naming. It’s been used on systemd-based Linux systems for some time.
What’s the function of’virbr0’and’vir0-nic’?
all the virtual machines will connect to the virbr0. by default, virbr0 use NAT mode, can provide Internet access by NAT mode. by default, virbr0 assigned address 192.168.122.1, and it can provide DHCP service for other virtual interface who connected to it. if you use brctl show, you can find a interface of virbr0 named virbr0-nic:
Is there a virtual bridge called virbr0-nic?
When I use KVM, I create a virtual bridge called virbr0, there is also a bridge called virbr0-nic. Even after I disable and delete virbr0, the virbr0-nic is still there. Can anyone explain to me what is this? Thank you.
