Hi,

I'm trying to give libvirt knowlegde of a VLAN interface that is
configured by a different means and not by libvirt. To figure out the
syntax, I created a VLAN interface through virt-manager and dumped out
the XML:

<interface type='vlan' name='ens3.180'>
 <protocol family='ipv6'>
   <ip address='2a01:4f8:150:436c::55:100' prefix='64'/>
   <ip address='fe80::5054:ff:fe30:e0d1' prefix='64'/>
 </protocol>
 <link speed='4294967295' state='up'/>
 <vlan tag='180'>
   <interface name='ens3'/>
 </vlan>
</interface>

I then removed the Interface in virt-manager and tried to have libvirt
read back its own XML.

[12/784]mh@testsid85:~ $ virsh iface-dumpxml ens3.180 > ens3.180.xml
[13/785]mh@testsid85:~ $ virsh iface-define ens3.180.xml
error: Failed to define interface from ens3.180.xml
error: XML error: could not get interface XML description: XML invalid - Expecting an element start, got nothing

What is going on here? How do I define a VLAN interface via XML?


Hm, weird.  Before looking at where the problem is, it could be easier to find
if we knew how virt-manager was able to define this.  Can you look at the logs
for the XML from virt-manager?

Greetings
Marc
