Re: [Qemu-discuss] How to use tap for qemu guest network?

[Aleksei]

On the host:

Add "allow bridge0" line to /etc/qemu/bridge.conf.

Assign an IP to bridge and bring it up. I do it with NetworkManager, so I'm not sure which "ip x x" commands are needed, but the result looks like this (with VM not running):

$ ip a l bridgevm
5: bridgevm: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ee:39:4b:c9:ba:ed brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.122.1/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global bridgevm
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::ec39:4bff:fec9:baed/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

On the guest, OS must be able to work with virtio NIC and you'll have to assign static IP to it.

I struggled with host-only bridged network for Qemu/libvirt myself a little while ago and described my solution here, you may want to take a look: https://alekseikovura.blogspot.ru/2016/09/libvirt-and-networkmanagers-bridges.html

Hi Aleksei,

I did the following, 

sudo ip link add dev bridge0 type bridge

sudo ip link set bridge0 up

# after the above commands, when doing a `ip link show', the bridge0 is in state UNKNOWN.

I then run, 

sudo kvm -m 256 eva.qcow2 -curses -vga virtio -device virtio-net,netdev=internet -netdev bridge,br=bridge0,id=internet,helper=/usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper

After login into the sytem, I run:

ip link show

I got:

                                address@hidden:/home/introom# ip addr

                                                                1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group defaul

                                                                    inet 10.0.2.15/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global eth0

                                                                    inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456/64 scope link

                                                                       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

The above is all I got.

What additional step should I do?

For example, to achieve the goal as,  ping between the guest and the host.

Thanks.

This works for me (you have to set up the bridge "bridge0" on the host side):

-device virtio-net,netdev=internet \
-netdev bridge,br=bridge0,id=internet,helper=/usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper

Hi,

I'd like to use a tap for the network between the host and the guest.

There are some materials on the internet, but none working for me.

Anybody successful setting up the tap based network?

What commands/setup do you use?

Thanks.
