Hi, I have a workstation with Fedora 16 using NetworkManager getting a static IP address via DHCP from a central DHCP server. I have a couple of VMs on that workstation that use a routed network device in libvirt that I would also like to acquire their IP address from the central DHCP server. I set up the virtual routed network device virbr1 and configured a VM (with CentOS 6) to use it. When the VM starts I see in Wireshark the DHCP broadcasts on the virbr1 interface but those broadcasts are not seen on the p21p1 (the old eth0) interface on the workstation and definitely don't make it to the central DHCP server. I guess I may need some additional IPTables rules to forward the VMs DHCP requests to the central DHCP server? Does anyone know what IPTables rule(s) I should add to make this work? Here is an overview of configs. Apologies for the iptables linewrap. I don't know how to force Thunderbird not to do that but I also put the info up at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/3u6cVUux Virtual Network Device "vmr": <network> <name>vmr</name> <forward mode='route'/> <bridge name='virbr1' /> <ip address='192.168.198.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> </ip> </network> IP_forward is enabled: # sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 # virsh net-list --all Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- vmr active yes default inactive yes # route -n Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.138 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 p21p1 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 p21p1 192.168.198.0 192.168.198.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 virbr1 192.168.198.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr1 # ifconfig lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:5372 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5372 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1652676 (1.5 MiB) TX bytes:1652676 (1.5 MiB) p21p1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr DE:AD:BE:EF:DE:AD inet addr:10.0.0.135 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5433191 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2791523 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:7957954289 (7.4 GiB) TX bytes:219450376 (209.2 MiB) Interrupt:47 Base address:0xe000 virbr1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:4B:6B:C9 inet addr:192.168.198.1 Bcast:192.168.198.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:51 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:10635 (10.3 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) vnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:C6:00:64:01 inet6 addr: fe80::fc54:c6ff:fe00:6401/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:51 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1272 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:11349 (11.0 KiB) TX bytes:66888 (65.3 KiB) The output of iptables -v -n -L is also available at: http://pastebin.com/3u6cVUux # iptables -v -n -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT udp -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:53 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:53 27 9099 ACCEPT udp -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 udp dpt:67 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 tcp dpt:67 5176K 7687M ACCEPT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 18 1200 ACCEPT icmp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 57 8880 ACCEPT all -- lo * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 state NEW tcp dpt:22 3081 520K REJECT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 0 0 ACCEPT all -- * virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.198.0/24 0 0 ACCEPT all -- virbr1 * 192.168.198.0/24 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 ACCEPT all -- virbr1 virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 REJECT all -- * virbr1 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable 0 0 REJECT all -- virbr1 * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable 0 0 REJECT all -- * * 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 17791 packets, 1525K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Thanks!
