hi,

i want the kvm guest machine to connect to network using macvtap.. I tried this vepa mode it is also not working.

where is your DHCP server? On the network or on your host?

eth0 has same mac address as that of macvatap0 that is 52:54:00:55:AE:B5

this is correct. The mac address of eth0 in the guest is the same as that of the macvtap device of the host.

due to this guest is not able to get dhcp address nor static ip address is working.

it works for me. I am on 6.2 now, but this worked on 6.1 as well. -- Best regards, Gerhard Stenzel, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martin Jetter Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294 DISCLAIMER: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
