I'm using:
virt-manager 0.9.0
Fedora 16
KDE 4.7.4
network manager 0.9.2-1
I want to have bridged connections so my VMs can be on the same network segment as the host. I used the instructions on here: http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/bridged-networking-virt-manager-083 When I did that, it made my ethernet connection go away. It seemed to freeze up, so I stopped the process. After that I had no ethernet connection so I had to go into network manager and add it back in. When I tried it again, I once again lost my ethernet connection.
So I looked around on Linuxquestions.org and found instructions to do the following:
create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 by copying it from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 then edit both files to match what you need, something like I have listed below
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
Code:
DEVICE="br0"
_ONBOOT_=yes
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.10.40
GATEWAY=192.168.10.1
DELAY=0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Code:
DEVICE="eth0"
_ONBOOT_=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=00:12:13:14:AB:CD
BRIDGE=br0
Then do 'service network restart'
On my computer instead of DEVICE it has NAME. So I set it up like this:
cat ifcfg-br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR0=192.168.1.17
PREFIX0=24
GATEWAY0=192.168.1.1
DNS1=192.168.1.7
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME=br0
_ONBOOT_=yes
When I put the BRIDGE=br0 into my eth0, it stopped working correctly. What do I have to do to get this set up correctly?
One other question - would I need to set up a brX for each VM?
Thank you
