The link/ether field is different for all of them: $ ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether d4:3d:7e:f4:1b:08 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.73/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global noprefixroute enp3s0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::d63d:7eff:fef4:1b08/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: virbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:8b:88:60 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.1/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global virbr0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: virbr0-nic: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc fq master virbr0 state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:8b:88:60 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 5: vnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq master virbr0 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether fe:54:00:b0:20:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::fc54:ff:feb0:2088/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 6: vnet1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq master virbr0 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether fe:54:00:1d:55:89 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet6 fe80::fc54:ff:fe1d:5589/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Another thing: the gateway address (192.168.122.1) is pingable from both sides, i.e. from the guest and the host, but packets are not being forwarded. net.ipv4.ip_forward is 1 (on), so possibly the problem is at a lower level with the actual bridge. Not sure how I can check that, but note that ip6 packets do go back and forth so it seems unlikely. The firewall rules are: $ sudo firewall-cmd --info-zone=public public (active) target: default icmp-block-inversion: no interfaces: enp3s0 p3p1 virbr0 virbr0-nic sources: services: dhcp dhcpv6-client dns mdns mountd nfs rpc-bind rsyncd samba ssh ports: 32410/udp 32413/tcp 32412/tcp 8200/tcp 1900/udp 32400/tcp 32469/tcp 32414/tcp 24800/tcp protocols: masquerade: no forward-ports: source-ports: 24800/tcp icmp-blocks: rich rules: Thanks for your patience in looking at this Ed.
