Is this > expected behaviour? What can I do about this? Qemu forwards this packet to everything inside of the same vlan, which is 0 by default. Does it work with this? -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=fa:9e:0b:53:d2:7d,model=rtl8139 -net tap,vlan=1,script=/images/1/ifup-eth0,downscript=/images/1/ifdown-eth0 -net nic,vlan=2,macaddr=fa:02:4e:86:ed:ce,model=e1000 -net tap,vlan=2,script=/images/1/ifup-eth1,downscript=/images/1/ifdown-eth1 > If I remove tap0 from the bridge, I then get: > * VM: eth1, dest MAC of Host's tap1/br0 > * Host: tap1, dest MAC of Host's tap1/br0 > * Host: br1, dest MAC of Host's tap1/br0 > * Host should, but does not, route from br0 to br1 > * Host: tap0, no packet > * Host: br0, no packet > * Host: eth0, no packet > * Server: eth0, no packet > > This is the other half of my problem: in this case, with effectively > only one tap, the host is not routing between br1 and br0.
