What am I doing wrong with this network configuration for KVM (F5 virtual edition)
Hello, I have been trying to setup an F5 lab using KVM on debian. I currently have the following network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces - see output pasted at end of post) although whenever I go to create the VM in KVM, only one tap is associated with the bridge (trying to use the taps for management, external, and internal interfaces on the F5 VM). (see screenshot at end of post) Would anyone have any suggestions for configuring networking properly for this setup? I'm open to anything at this point in time. Thanks for your help. source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet6 auto auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp pre-up ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user root pre-up ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap user root pre-up ip tuntap add dev tap2 mode tap user root pre-up ip link set tap0 up pre-up ip link set tap1 up pre-up ip link set tap2 up bridge_ports all tap0 tap1 tap2 bridge_stp off bridge_maxwait 0 bridge_fd 0 post-down ip link set tap0 down post-down ip link set tap1 down post-down ip link set tap2 down post-down ip tuntap del dev tap0 mode tap post-down ip tuntap del dev tap1 mode tap post-down ip tuntap del dev tap2 mode tap259Views0likes1CommentKVM home lab setup and configuration
Hey guys, Has anyone used KVM as means of creating a virtual home lab with separate vlans. I have tried time and time again to get separate vlans created using virtualbox and have followed the documentation found on dev central but its seems out dated as I could not create separate vlans using bridging. The following is my current lab setup and configuration possibilities I am seeking advice on. Host: Laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 (using 15.10 but will upgrading soon to the new LTS) Guests: Some distro running lamp, debain or centos Network: I was able to configure the management interface just fine 192.168.1.254 VLANS: I am not too experienced with kvm so I am not sure the best way to configure seperate vlans. But I have attempted this but again I could not created the vlans for so that my Guests could send traffic on. Ideas that I have been tossing around: -use cumlus vm switch to emulate a switch and assign vlan ids and vlans on it -using avaya os to emulate switching and routing... not sure if avaya can also do L3 switching or not? Any suggestions and or experiences will be helpful Thanks336Views0likes1Commentkvm and arch linux
Hey guys, Question if I am running arch linux as a host machine using arch linux with kvm will LTM be supported if I were to use it as a guest?, or is kvm only supported with a selected handful of distros that run as a host such as debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos etc Thanks173Views0likes1Comment
