Hello,
I'm trying to setup virtualbox networking. I went through the tutorial at
gentoo wiki, but I have troubles ... obvious :-(
In the howto there's called /sbin/ip, but I have no idea in which package
this program rise ;-)
What I need is the bidirectional communication between host and guest.
When you say tutorial, do you mean
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO:_VirtualBox ? That's what Norberto seems
to have used.
You should definitely look into dnsmasq as well. It allows all my
boxes to see all other boxes (including VirtualBoxes). (I added a
little script that updates /etc/hosts on my server.)
Or my be another question :-) I need to run more then one guest OS, so I expect
I need to create next bridge, but how?
I've try something like this (/etc/conf.d/net):
config_eth0=( "null" )
tuntap_vbox0="tap"
tuntap_vbox1="tap"
config_vbox0=( "null")
config_vbox1=( "null")
config_br0=( "dhcp" )
config_br1=( "dhcp" )
bridge_br0="eth0 vbox0"
bridge_br1="eth0 vbox1"
depend_br0()
{
need net.eth0
need net.vbox0
}
depend_br1()
{
need net.eth0
need net.vbox1
}
brctl_br0=( "setfd 0")
brctl_br1=( "setfd 0")
And create corresponding links in the /etc/init.d directory.
ln -s ./net.lo ./net.vbox1
ln -s ./net.lo ./net.br1
And trying to start net.br1 giving me this error:
device eth0 is already a member of a bridge; can't enslave it to bridge
Again I'm wrong. How to enable more then one bridge? I want all guests to see
each other and see the host too and host has to see all guests.
Thanks
Pat
