virtio model type and netfilter masquerade not being applied

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

 



Quick question for anyone in the know, I have a fairly basic setup (at least I think it is?)  with an openvswitch, and the br0 port has an IP assigned in the same subnet as the VM to act as a gateway. 
              |------ovs-------|
eno2 <-- |--br0             |
              |--vnet0 - VM  |
              |------------------|


I would like the VM (vnet0) to use br0 as a gateway which local connectivity wise seems fine but the internet is a bit odd. I can ping for example 1.1.1.1 dns without any issues but anying udp/tcp is a no go. 

I checked the physical hosts interface(eno2) and br0 to find that the VM's packets were successfully heading to br0 but when leaving the physical host(eno2) the tcp/udp packets weren't being masqueraded. The rule is pretty straightforward and to test I plugged another device into the eno1 afxdp port and had no connectivity issues and packets were being masqueraded fine.

I tried to set trustGuestRxFilters='yes' but that didn't work and the same state remained, the only thing that worked was using the "rtl8139" model type.

I always remember using 'virtio' in the past and I must be missing something crucial in the somewhat lengthy libvirt documentation.

Would be super helpful if someone can shed some light on this ? and possibly if I should be using virtio or the realtek driver ? 

Thanks ! (config below)
