Yes, I see the icmp request coming into the cnetos1 VM and the icmp reply going out. I am sure this is not an ip address collision. The bridge in the server1 libvirt environment is created like this: # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eno1 DEVICE=eno1 BOOTPROTO=none BRIDGE=br0 ONBOOT=YES # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=x.x.219.54 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=x.x.219.1 ONBOOT=YES The result of the above is the following: # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.fc15b4137688 no eno1 Then I define the above br0 bridge in libvirt, like below: # virsh net-dumpxml br0 <network> <name>br0</name> <uuid>5aaf72a5-023d-4b84-9d7c-d68b0918f620</uuid> <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='br0'/> </network> # virsh net-list Name State Autostart Persistent ---------------------------------------------------------- br0 active no yes As soon as I have the br0 bridge defined in libvirt, I start the centos1 VM, that has eth0 interface connected to this br0 bridge: # virsh dumpxml centos1 [...] <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:40:31:85'/> <source network='br0'/> <model type='e1000'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> [...] # brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.fc15b4137688 no eno1 vnet0 And that is all. With this setup I have the centos1 VM interface eth0 directly connected to the br0 bridge through the vnet0 tap interface. The br0 bridge is also connected to the eno1 physical interface in server1, so my centos1 VM should be accessible to the outside world. However, I have the ssh issue described in my initial email, while ping is working. In the openssh-server debug log, I see the ssh connection established and later hanging with the last debug message being "debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent [preauth]". Am I doing something wrong with my libvirt setup above? _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
