I assume this wasn't working for you either because you previously had a network named

I found the answer to this question: 1. create an XML file with a fake configuration (including a subnet not in use elsewhere): <network> <name>fake</name> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0' /> <ip address='192.168.0.1' netmask='255.255.0.0'></ip> </network> 2. define the network: virsh net-define

Hello, I have first a question (and then may be a problem), that I have difficulties to understand and eventually to investigate. On each of my guests VM, I see constantly a RX dropped number increasing , Even if the VM does nothing ! ifconfig eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.100.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.100.255

Hi all, I try to understand why the network bandwidth limits are not applied to my ubuntu 16.04.2 VM (qemu-kvm driver) and I would need some insights. I create my VM network with virsh and when I issue a dumpxml on my network, I can see that bandwidth limits are set: virsh # net-dumpxml nat_limit <network> <name>nat_limit</name>

Hi guys, I'm running a KVM/libvirt host in a datacenter and got a fancy IPv4 subnet from my provider. I'm able to assign IPs from that subnet via dhcp to my VMs: host01 ~ # virsh net-dumpxml internet <network connections='3'> <name>internet</name> <uuid>37b888cc-510f-46f1-9246-346da96222ed</uuid> <forward dev='enp5s0f0'

Hello everybody, i've defined a simple network, with no dhcp. I'd like to use dnsmasq only as a dns server. $ virsh net-dumpxml basicswitch <network> <name>basicswitch</name> <uuid>60f491d2-d6c4-6b57-8a50-081cace8dedc</uuid> <forward mode='nat'/> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0' /> <ip

(sorry, dont know how i put my posting into an reply to an other issue before, new posting to sepearte it, big sorry) Hello list, i updated on a gentoo system from libvirtd 2.5 to 3.1.0 Now my windows machines cant access internet. I did a virbr1 with virt-manager and route it to the eth0, works fine on 2.5 Hello list, i updated on a gentoo system from libvirtd 2.5 to 3.1.0 Now my

Hi, I have an fc14 install and would like to install a few kvm guests but am having difficulty with the networking. On the host I have disabled NetworkManager and configured a bridge which has eth0, the only physical interface on the server. I have a dhcp server on the local lan, and if I add a mac address entry to my dhcpd.conf, the guest will find an IP from there. I think somehow the guest

Is it possible to configure 2 virtual nics in the same ip range ? Here is what I am trying. **** This works **************** cat nw1.xml <network> <name>nw1</name> <domain name='nw1' /> <forward mode='nat' dev='eth2'/> <ip address='192.168.101.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range

I have CentOS 7 host. Two guests on bridge network setup by GUI and virt-manager. 1 CentOS 8 guest 1 Win 10 guest Both cannot access the host. They can other machines on the network. Guests can access the internet just not the host. I used virt-manager GUi to set up everything. Selected the eth0:macvtap and Bridge. I "desire" bridge network. If I select something else I get access to

Hi. I have a machine with a local DHCP server and a couple of virtual networks and I've configured the server for each virtual interface, so that I would be able to install VMs on the corresponding subnets using PXE. The problem is that the two DHCP servers (my local server and dnsmasq) are conflicting with each other causing the boot process to either fails or takes ages untill a VM can

Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. I'd rather run monitoring such as tcpdump from the VM if possible and not the host as a simulation of a network appliance and with the intent eventually of giving others access to the VM and not the host. Here is the xml file for the private network: <!-- WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE. CHANGES TO IT ARE LIKELY TO BE OVERWRITTEN AND LOST. Changes to

Hi all, I have some problems with libvirt >2.1.0 (so 2.2.0 and 2.3.0): I have a working environment using libvirt 2.1.0 with 1 domain (called "mail") and one network (called "default6"), both are autostarted. I have no problems with this environment using libvirt 2.1.0, everything works great. But after (testwise) updating to libvirt 2.2.0 or 2.3.0, libvirt doesn't

Hello, Finally I managed to get a xen 4.0 working on ubuntu 10.04 with pvops kernel and libvirt.

Basically I''m not using a network script from xen. I define a

Thanks, Mike. When running tcpdump on the VM I'm not seeing traffic unless it's explicitly intended for that particular VM, so no traffic between the other VMs is getting forwarded from the virtual interface to the "network appliance" VM. There is connectivity between the VMs on the private network and the "network appliance" VM which is acting as a gateway.

Hello, I came across an interesting problem in my home lab a few weeks ago as I'm prepping for my RHCE exam using Michael Jang study guide. I've been at this for days now, and I still can't wrap my head around how two or more virtual networks in default NAT configuration are even allowed to communicate with each other despite what the libvirt documentation said. Here's the
