To Bridge or not to Bridge?

[BORNXenon]

In my cluster I have 3 network interfaces configured, the first is as default a port of vmbr0 and is for all of the day to day traffic.
The other 2 interfaces have just been configured with IP Addresses, one (1GBE) is for Corosync, the other (10GBE) is for CEPH. Should I have configured a bridge for the Corosync interface and a bridge for CEPH or is it ok to just use the interfaces directly?

if you do not plan on connecting vms to that network segment, a bridge is not necessary

Thanks Dominik, I did think that was the case but I came across a tutorial this morning while looking for something else and the poster had a bridge for each interface so I just wanted to sanity check my set up.
