[CentOS-virt] Network Bridgeing

Hi again,

 

Just to let know that I solved the issue. After some troubleshooting i could
notice the following:

 

The vnet0 (virtual network adapter for my Windows 2K03 VM) was into the
virbr0 bridge so that's why when I configured the VM host with my valid IP
address I could not get connectivity between hosts. So once time I deleted
the vnet0 interface from virbr0 bridge, and add it to the br0 bridge "Voila"
the connectivity start working.

 

[root at himalaya ~]# brctl show

bridge name     bridge id                             STP enabled
interfaces

br0                         8000.00269e825538       no
eth0

virbr0                    8000.525400edecc7       yes
virbr0-nic

 
vnet0

(delete interface vnet0 from virbr0 bridge)

# brctl delif virbr0 vnet0

 

(add interface vnet0 from virbr0 bridge)

# brctl addif br0 vnet0

 

Thnk you very much for patience, and you time to get reply to my thread.

 

Best regards,

RR

I didn't know you were using a DHCP server... Can you set a static IP on
your Windows guest instead? ( With the configuration I suggested. )
I believe that would solve your problem.

In my host I do not have a virbr0 bridge, I only have br0
So probably you should remove virbr0
Same goes for eth0:1 which should be removed. ( Do not create an alias
interface on eth0 if you make it belong to br0 )

Also, you should add (or change)
NM_CONTROLLED=no
in both your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 files.

I do have ipv6 completely disabled in my host config which you can achieve
by adding
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no
lines to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 files

As an example, here is my working /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
file:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx   <= your physical NIC's MAC goes here
BRIDGE=br0
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no

and my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 file:

DEVICE=br0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
TYPE=Bridge
IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   <= the IP you want to use for your host goes here
NETMASK=255.255.255.xxx   <= your netmask goes here
GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  <= your gateway goes here
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=8.8.4.4
PEERDNS=yes
DELAY=0
STP=off
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6_AUTOCONF=no

And I set a static IP in Windows, for DNS I use Google Public DNS:
( https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using )

8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

In Virtual Machine Manager, my Windows guest's NIC is configured as
Network Source: Specify shared device name
      Bridge Name: br0
Device model: virtio
MAC address: Here I have an auto generated unique MAC address to be used for
this VM only!

In Windows, install the latest virtio drivers which you can download from
here:

Hi Zoltan,

 

I did the eth0 bridge to br0. As you explain i did the assignment the ip
from eth0 to the br0 interface. And is working I could ping between
interface from IP eth0 (br0) to VM and from VM to IP eth0. As well I tried
to configure my VM with the valid IP address and the connectivity loss until
I get back to the original configuration (dhcp).

 

Here is my ifconfig output:

You need to add eth0 to the bridge (br0) which you already did. But do NOT
assign an IP address to eth0. Instead, assign the host's IP to br0.
Then just use another of your IPs for your VM (which can also be called eth0
inside your VM).
This way your host and your VM(s) can communicate with each other via the
bridge.

Note: If you want to use more than one IP address to access your host, then
create alias interfaces on the host for the bridge such as br0:0, br0:1,
etc.
Do not create alias interfaces on eth0. Also do not create an alias
interface on your host for the IP(s) which you'll be using inside your
VM(s).

I hope this helps.

Hi,

 

I have the following issue i recently installed a VM with qemu and libvirtd,
everything is almost ok. The problem is that i have 5 usable IP address
(valid ip address on internet) for eth0, and i want to use one of this IP
for my VM (Windows 2008 Standard R2 by the way). I did the bridge between my
eth0 and br0, the VM could browse into internet and download patches, etc.
etc. 

 

I tried to use a networking alias, this is the network interface eth0 assign
a IP address and for the eth0:1 assign other IP address, and this bridged to
the br0 instead of eth0 to eth0:1; after restart the network service the
connectivity lost, and then get in back the original configuration
everything seems to work again. But my goal is not archived.

 

Goal:

 

eth0 must have a valid ip address to be accesed, eth0:1 (bridged to br0)
must have a valid address to be assigned to the VM. Through iptables assign
ACL to each IP address (valid IP address) depending of the services to host
(web server and db server,  rdp host) and between interfaces could be
possible to communicate between them (virtual host and virtual machine).

 

eth0: Virtual Host

eth0:1: Virtual  machine (bridged to br0)

 

Thank you very much for you time.

 

Best regards,

RR
