Network Bridging

After installation, Vinchin server will generate an isolate_bridge network interface for data validation and a prod_bridge network interface for external communication automatically.

Isolate_bridge: It's virtual bridge network interface card, used to communicate within the vinchin server. It cannot be deleted and be created manually, a backup server or backup node has only one isolated bridge network interface card. The segment of the isolate network can be configured by selecting the Isolate Network Segment option.

Prod_bridge: The first network interface card is used to create as prod_bridge by default. This is the actual physical network interface card, which is utilized for communicating with the external environment. It can be deleted and can also be manually created. A vinchin server can generate multiple production bridge network interface cards.
