Hello,
I've configured a network passtrough like this:
<interface type='direct'>
<mac address='52:54:00:ec:e8:d9'/>
<source dev='eth1' mode='passthrough'/>
<target dev='macvtap0'/>
<model type='rtl8139'/>
<alias name='net1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
OK. it works :)
There's only one small difficulty:
I have to make sure the host network interface is down before I
start the VM.
Then, after the VM starts, I have to bring the host network
interface up by hand.
If the host interface is up before the VM starts, the VM fails to
start.
If I do not bring the host network interface up after the VM starts,
the VM cannot effectively communicate using that network interface.
Does anybody has a "clean" solution for it, I mean: without
employing some external "dirty" script or so?
Thanks
