Re: [libvirt-users] F20 Virt-Manager with MacVTap not working

The guest was setup through virt-manager. The machine is not configured
much after a F20 install (I believe I didn't change any network things)

 Here is the network part:

   <interface type='direct'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:fe:b0:66'/>
      <source dev='em1' mode='bridge'/>
      <target dev='macvtap0'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
    </interface>


and the complete dump:

    I am using macvtap on F20 with no problems. Which device are you
    selecting to connect the macvtap device to? You should use the
    physical device that your host uses for network communication.
    Please send the <interface> section of the output of "virsh
    $guestname dumpxml" (where $guestname is, of course, the name of the
    guest with non-working networking).

It seems you are not alone. Here's a new BZ filed just last night:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1064516

It's unclear whether the reporter ran wireshark to turn on promiscuous
mode on the host's macvtap interface, the host's physical device, or the
guest's interface to make everything work, but you might try those (you
could just run tcpdump instead of wireshark - same effect).

In the meantime, I notice that the reporter of that BZ is using
qemu-1.6.1-3, while I'm running 1.7.0-4 (which is from the
fedora-virt-preview repo). You might want to try enabling
fedora-virt-preview in your yum setup, updating, then see if the problem
is solved. Otherwise, I guess follow the BZ for progress reports.

I'll keep an eye on the BZ.
