[libvirt-users] point-to-point connection between vm and host

Hi! hopefully someone can give me a hint with this: I need to create a vm with a point-to-point connection to the host using a /30 subnet. Right now i have this in the vm's xml for libvirt: <interface type="network" name="eth0" onboot="yes"> <source network="default"/> <mac address="02:fd:00:00:01:00"/> </interface> Which brings up an interface in the vm that is configured later by a a daemon, getting to this: vnx@r2:~$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:fd:00:00:01:00 inet addr:10.250.0.2 Bcast:10.250.0.3 Mask:255.255.255.252 While in the host the other interface is created: root@tau:/home/jorge/workspace/vnx# ifconfig r2-e0 r2-e0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0a:81:b6:3c:24:15 inet addr:10.250.0.1 Bcast:10.250.0.3 Mask:255.255.255.252 However there is no connectivity between them, probably because of some mistake in the <interface> tag, perhaps a wrong 'type' attribute, but i haven't found out yet. I wouldn't want to create a bridge and connect both interfaces (vm's and host's) to the bridge, but to have this ptp, if possible. How would i go about doing that? thanks! Jorge
