multiple NICs in container

[MartinP]

Hello,

I have a host with three Network-Interfaces:

vmbr0 - eth1 - 192.168.200.2 - 255.255.255.0 - 192.168.200.1
vmbr1 - eth2 - 10.193.96.131 - 255.255.255.224
vmbr2 - eth0 - 192.168.1.4 - 255.255.255.0
vmbr3 - - 10.0.0.100 - 255.255.255.0

Now I want to create a virtual machine that is connected to three of the bridges, as this machine will have to get input from vmbr3 and doing some load balancing and fail-over between vmbr0/eth1 (a WIMAX internet connection) and vmbr1/eth2 (a VSAT internet-connection).

Another virtual machine should sit between vmbr2/eth0 (our internal network) and vmbr3 to host a captive portal.

How can I (with the interface, or on the command line) connect a virtual machine to two (or three) bridges, so that at the inside of the VM there will be an eth0, eth1 (and eth2)?

I think I have read all the Howtos, but there must be some limitation in the understanding on my side, so if I could get a hint from somebody I would be greatfull.

[wrong thread - I'm sorry - how can I move this?]

That is currently only possible with KVM VMs (using the web interface).

You need openvz containers?

You need openvz containers?

No, I'don't need it to be openvz. But I thought it would be faster with openvz.

So I will try with KVM, and see how it will work.

Or is there a possibility on the command line with openvz?

Then i assume that OPenVz only suppports one NIC by VPS, Is this right?

 

[dietmar]

No, it support more than one, but not on the web interface. Instead you need to configure that manually using vzctl. see

# man vzctl

the option to look for is:

--netif_add ifname[,mac,host_ifname,host_mac,bridge]

ty for the quicly answer, i´ll make some test about this
