KVM Networking Assistance

[bpvarsity]

Im having trouble getting the networking to work in the KVM vps's. I can get the openvz vm to work with venet but havent gotten the veth working for kvm.

The last time I tried to setup the bridge i broke the whole servers network lol.

I have a ip block of 64 ip addresses and want to use them for openvz and kvm.



Right now I reset my etc/network/interfaces config is
# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet manual


auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address xx.2.xx.66
netmask 255.255.255.xxx
gateway xx.2.xx.65



Now this works for openvz but for kvm i know i have to create a bridge. With the vmbro in the network settings do i have to assign a ip and netmask etc to it and then bridge it to eth1? like

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address xx.2.xx.68
netmask 255.255.255.xxx
bridge_ports eth1
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0



I tried setting it up to bridge before and either the kvm's still didnt use the ip i set them to use or the whole networking on the server broke and i had to go into rescue mode.

Thanks for the assistance.

Also is it best to configure the network in the GUI of proxmox for the vmbro & bridge or should it all just be done manually via editing the interface file?

Hi,
normaly is bridging easy - if your hoster don't use mac-filter or such things.
Can you tried an network config like this:

# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 0.0.0.0
    netmask 0.0.0.0

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address xx.2.xx.66
    netmask 255.255.255.192
    gateway xx.2.xx.65
    bridge_ports eth1
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0
