But when you attach them to bridges and don’t have IP addresses on the bridges, then they are unreachable.

  • This is wrong.

    A bridge does not need an ip address itself to pass traffic from interface A

    hw interface a <---> bridge b <---> vm interface c
    192.168.1.3 none 192.168.1.4

    Keep in mind that bridging takes place on layer 2:
