5 ### Configuring the network on the host system
7 In order to access a network interface of the host system from the vkernel, you must add the interface to a [bridge(4)](http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=bridge§ion=4) device which will then be passed to the `-I` option:
13 ifconfig bridge0 create
14 ifconfig bridge0 addm re0 # assuming re0 is the host's interface
19 **Note** : You have to change `re0` to the interface of your host machine.
