Hi
I am creating macvtap0 interface on my eth1 interface.
ip link show macvtap0
133: macvtap0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UNKNOWN qlen 500

Are you saying that you're manually creating a macvtap0 device outside of libvirt? Or are you just showing us the macvtap device that libvirt is creating?
guest interface file-
<interface type='direct'>
<mac address='3e:63:18:f3:49:63'/>
<source dev='eth0' mode='bridge'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
Now when I do-
Virsh define guest works fine
But when I do virsh start guest
can guest gain ip?
Dmesg shows error
dmesg on the host, correct?
macvtap0:no ipv6 routers present
libvirtd[24907]: segfault at 0 ip 0000003e22280062 sp 00007fd3057f8cb8 error 4 in libc-2.12.so[3e22200000+187000]
Does this segfault happen every time? If you have a RHEL subscription, you should open a ticket with Red Hat support. Have you rebooted the host since you first encountered this error - I have seen cases where old stale macvtap devices stuck around, preventing the creation of a new device with the same name. If it's feasible to upgrade, you may want to do so - RHEL 6.2 (with libvirt-0.9.4) was released on Wednesday.
and even if guest starts its eth interface is not created
could you provide your host os, guest os, libvirt, qemu-kvm version?
Also useful for debugging - the last qemu command listed in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$guestname.log Additionally, the output of "virsh dumpxml $guestname" (in particular the <interface> section) while the guest is running (this will be different from the "inactive" version you've provided above).
it is fine as i tried, no segment fault message and the guest can get ip.
