Hi Daniel, I am trying to create an interface with the type 'direct' with 'vepa' mode. I assigned an ip '10.0.0.1' to the eth2 interface of the host machine. My domain XML format is shown below. <domain type='lxc' id='1'> <name>vm1_fedora</name> <memory>500000</memory> <os> <type>exe</type> <init>/bin/bash</init> </os> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>destroy</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <filesystem type='mount'> <source dir='/root/lxc/fedora_fresh'/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> <interface type='direct'> <source dev='eth2' mode='vepa'/> </interface> <console type='pty' /> </devices> </domain> When I am trying to define the domain, I am getting the following error: virsh # define /root/lxc_devel/fedora.xml error: Failed to define domain from /root/lxc_devel/fedora.xml error: internal error unknown interface type 'direct' Can you please let me know the problem here.
