virtual networking - virbr0-nic interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I need some help in understanding libvirt's virtual networking. I have configured bridged networking (shared physical device) on libvirt+KVM system which is working fine. Also, I am using default NAT network on with virbr0 bridge device and virbr0-nic. I would like to get better understanding on virbr0-nic works in this virtual network configuration. I understand that traffic from virbr0 bridge is forwarded through host system's physical interface eth0 using iptables rules, but I am not following virbr0-nic's working here. I see it attached to virbr0 bridge device though.


{{{
$ brctl show
bridge name      bridge id	                 STP enabled	   interfaces
br0               8000.14feb5dc4f06	     no                      eth0
                                                                                      vnet1

virbr0           8000.525400f5a4ed         yes                 virbr0-nic
                                                                                       vnet2

}}}

Any pointers on how virbr0 and virbr0-nic work would be really helpful.
