I am running Fedora 16 64bit and installed libvirt. I have the VM
running with arm emulation with this one issue I can't figure out. I
used Virtual Machine Manager to manage the VM and can access its console
there. The Ethernet appears to be eth1 and the guest can set an IP on
it etc. However, I cannot see any traffic from the Host when dumping
any of the interfaces. I've tried several combinations of network
setups using the GUI and none appear to work. Optimally I'd like to
bridge to my primary interface (em1) and be able to pull an address and
talk directly to my network so I can download packages etc while in the
VM. I tried setting up networking in that fashion with:
Source Device : em1 with macvtap
Device Model: Hypervisor Default
Source Mode: Bridge
but alas I cannot pull dhcp nor can I set a static address and ping
other interfaces on the network.
It also appears that every time I start the VM it creates another vnetX
interface.
One of the troubleshooting pages I came across listed all the tools but
nothing about what to look for:
1) virsh net-list --all
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default active yes
2) brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
virbr0 8000.52540029e6c7 yes virbr0-nic
vnet0
vnet1
vnet2
vnet3
vnet4
3) sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables
sysctl net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
4) iptables -L -v -n

Any help I can get to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Very
frustrating...
