hi, I come back to this subject about using VDE to connect VM. this is what I use:
$ vde_switch $ slirpvde -L 2222:10.0.2.101:22 $ qemu -enable-kvm -m 512 -nic vde,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 samba.disk # 10.0.2.101/24 $ qemu -enable-kvm -m 512 -nic vde,mac=52:54:00:12:34:57 linux.disk # 10.0.2.102/24 $ qemu -enable-kvm -m 1024 -nic vde,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 windows.disk # 10.0.2.103/24 but I have many network problems with it that I can't identify and explain to access in ssh (ssh -p 2222 root@localhost) to the targeted machine : one time it works, the other time it doesn't, the other time the connection freezes (and eventually resumes after a few moments) or is simply cut off ( slirpvde returns without any explanation). of course I suspect slirpvde to be the problem, especially since the VM communicate with each other without problems. do any of you have an explanation, a beginning of a solution or a path to follow ? is VDE still maintained ? I like using it because it does not require any privileges. regards, lacsaP. ---------- Forwarded message --------- De : Pascal <patate...@gmail.com> Date: lun. 23 sept. 2019 à 10:33 Subject: Re: connect virtual machines to each other To: qemu-discuss <qemu-discuss@nongnu.org> hi, for information : the disabling of my firewall fixed the problem :-) regards, lacsaP.
