[libvirt-users] net interface direct - no IP communication between guest & host

hi everyone I wonder why, when I attach an interface like this: virsh # attach-interface --domain win10Ent --type direct --source nm-team --config --persistent --model virtio host cannot ip ping the guest and vice versa, yet guest can ping other nodes(outside of its host, connected via phys net via a switch) Would you know? I thought maybe routing on the host, so I did: $ route add -host 192.168.2.222 dev nm-team but to no avail. I wonder if it's lower layer, arp kernel bits? thanks, L.

I expect you'll be hitting this unfortunate gotcha: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TroubleshootMacvtapHostFail Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|

really nice pointer, thanks. So I changed some bits, NIC for quest now is: vnet2 bridge 192-168-2-0 virtio and network is: <network> <name>192-168-2-0</name> <uuid>4e03af62</uuid> <forward mode='bridge'/> <bridge name='nm-bridge1'/> </network> and the host's bridge(nm-bridge1) comprise of one net-team device which builds on two phys NICs. And... the problem remains the same - other hosts/node(via a switch to which nm-team is connected) can get to the quest but the host itself cannot(and vice versa) So no "macvtap" but still does not work.
Regards, Daniel
