I can't run any guest VMs over bridge network

[medworthy (Mark Edworthy)]

Found a new problem, I can’t run any guest VMs over bridge network.
I have tried using WebVirtMgr, VMM and manually creating br0. I have a network card in my server setup as eth1 and a bridgge interface (br0), I can ping br0 from the host but can’t get my VMs to connect to their eth0 VNIC

I have added a copy of both ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg=br0 configs to this post: My guest VMs are using static IP (with their DNS and Gaterway pointing to the host system).

@/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no

@/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0

DEVICE=br0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Anybody got any ideas?

Hi @medworthy

I’m not sure but I think that you need to create bridge (br0)
interface within admin Web UI because as far as I know (and for my
experience) NethServer needs to exeute a series of events due to various
dependencies.

@sitz is right, Do not create network bridges using WebVirtManager interface. Just create the bridge inside Network page and use it under WebVirtManager
http://docs.nethserver.org/en/latest/webvirtmgr.html

@sitz & @alefattorini, you are both right, this needs to be managed via Nethserver.

Thanks!
