Re: about the script /etc/qemu-ifup with nmcli command

Hi, I have tried the qemu-ifup script as below with nmcli command as brctl is deprecated on rhel8, but the guest network can not work. I think the script needs update. Could you please help to have a look? Thank you in advance. 1. prepare a linux bridge on the host named br0; 2. prepare the qemu-ifup script as below: # cat /etc/qemu-ifup #!/bin/bash # A br0 bridge should be already set up. # Compare with: # http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Networking#qemu-ifup # # For the bridge setup, see: # http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Fedora.2FRHEL_Bridging # http://gist.github.com/393525 ip link set "$1" up nmcli c add type bridge-slave ifname $1 con-name $1 master br0 autoconnect yes 3. start vm with below interface setting: # virsh dumpxml rh | grep /interface -B5 <interface type='ethernet'> <mac address='52:54:00:79:ba:dd'/> <script path='/etc/qemu-ifup'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x04' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> # virsh start rh Domain rh started 4.check on guest, the interface can not get dhcp ip address; 5. check on host, # nmcli con NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE br0 f68f73c7-10ee-40c1-bb09-3366d11ac896 bridge br0 ... vnet0 90a48d77-dccc-4b59-98f5-09f8cbd62458 ethernet -- # nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION br0 bridge connected br0 ... vnet0 tun unmanaged -- 6. hotplug a bridge type interface and compare the tap devices: # virsh attach-interface rh bridge br0 --model virtio Interface attached successfully # nmcli con NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE br0 f68f73c7-10ee-40c1-bb09-3366d11ac896 bridge br0 vnet1 07c2a1f8-396f-4d5f-b61f-ef2ddb42ed93 tun vnet1 --->the hot-plugged one ... vnet0 90a48d77-dccc-4b59-98f5-09f8cbd62458 ethernet -- ----> the ethernet one # nmcli dev DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION vnet1 tun connected (externally) vnet1 --->the hot-plugged one vnet0 tun unmanaged -- ----> the ethernet one ... 7. from the outputs above, the back-end tun device for ethernet type interface is unmanaged. I don't know how to update the script to fix it. Could you please help? ------- Best Regards, Yalan Zhang IRC: yalzhang
