Hi I have a openvpn network using *tap* interfaces. On the machines on the vpn network, I want to create VMs in such a way that they should all get on the vpn network.
-- I have tap0 as the openvpn interface -- br0 as the bridge. -- script to setup bridge and the add tap0 ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up brctl addif br0 tap0 ifconfig br0 10.4.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 10.4.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 br0 route add default gw 10.4.0.1 br0 -- I have turned firewall off. -- I have the bridge script in place (which works when I bridge eth0) Now when I create new VM, using the command line... qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:70:8f:33 -net tap,vlan=0 -hda /mnt/vm_data/test_xp.hda.disk.xm -m 256 The VM does not seem to get the IP address :( (may be dhcp request is failing) ---- brctl show --- bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.7e986235e99b no tap1 tap0 -- ifconfig tap0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 7E:98:62:35:E9:9B inet6 addr: fe80::7c98:62ff:fe35:e99b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:73 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:866 errors:0 dropped:96 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:32708 (31.9 KiB) TX bytes:452402 (441.7 KiB) tap1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr AA:01:05:1D:29:98 inet6 addr: fe80::a801:5ff:fe1d:2998/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:82 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:129 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:13573 (13.2 KiB) TX bytes:12571 (12.2 KiB) br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 7E:98:62:35:E9:9B inet addr:10.4.0.2 Bcast:10.4.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::7c98:62ff:fe35:e99b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:135515 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:79483 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:189556720 (180.7 MiB) TX bytes:20408302 (19.4 MiB) Has anyone done similar setup ? or can shed light on the issue? Thanks /Jd p.s. I do not want to install and config on all VMs if possible. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
