Hello all, I''m using a Debian based system with Shorewall 4.5.5.3 and am trying to configure a setup with multiple public KVM-VMs; currently they are "brouted". I''m using the two-interface example config with the routeback option set in: /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/routestopped on the host. My host "/etc/network/interfaces" is as follows: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address (Main-Public-IP) netmask 255.255.255.255 pointopoint (Gateway-IP) gateway (Gateway-IP) auto vbr0 iface vbr0 inet static address (Main-Public-IP) netmask 255.255.255.255 pre-up ovs-vsctl add-br vbr0 pre-up ip link set up vbr0 pre-up ovs-vsctl set-controller vbr0 ptcp: pre-up ovs-vsctl set bridge vbr0 stp_enable=false up ip route add (Another-Public-IP)/32 dev vbr0 down ip route del (Another-Public-IP)/32 dev vbr0 up ip route add (Yet-Another-Public-IP)/32 dev vbr0 down ip route del (Yet-Another-Public-IP)/32 dev vbr0 The guests are using their own Shorewall instance with the one-interface example without routestopped. The guests "/etc/network/interfaces" are configured as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address (Another-Public-IP) netmask 255.255.255.224 gateway (Main-Public-IP) Ok, this seems to be working (I haven''t checked into ipsec, world-zones or bport-types...), but what I really need, is layer2 isolation, so that all my VMs (they don''t need to "see" one another) can have the same mac-address. This can be done using QEMU/KVMs user mode networking (slirp) but the performance is poor. Now to my question, can someone on this list give me a real world working example, or at least more information, then "this should be doable with ovs-flows or vlans"; not that I am not willing to try using ovs-flows, or vlans, but without an explicit example, I''m bound to fail with my limited knowledge. I''ve tried using ovs-vlans, but couldn''t get dhcp working with dnsmasq. I am well aware, that this is not the ovs-list, but I''m not necessarily looking for an ovs solution; maybe GRE-tunnels, point-to-point, etc. Any experts willing to help?
