It is happening again... so here are lots of lots of notes on setting up QEMU, VDE, FreeBSD, Debian, tun/tap.
QEMU direct to a host bridge via tap0 only allows for one guest per tunnel. That's no good! We want vde_switch to connect to tap0, and for QEMU guests to connect to vde_switch.
Don't forget:
mknod /dev/kqemu c 250 0
chmod 666 /dev/kqemu
Here's some updated QEMU notes:
NOTE: You will have to come up with unique mac addresses for each virtual machine you attach to the vde switch!
Here is a new entry on the network when I do an nmap scan:
Host 192.168.0.188 appears to be up. MAC Address: 52:54:00:12:34:56 (QEMU virtual NIC)
Also, I still need to put the follow in /etc/qemu-ifup:
#!/bin/sh echo "Executing /etc/qemu-ifup" echo "Bringing up $1 for bridged mode..." sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up echo "Adding $1 to br0..." sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1 sleep 2
On FreeBSD: kldload if_bridge ifconfig bridge create ifconfig bridge0 addm sis0 addm tap0 up
vdeqemu -vnc :1 -net nic,macaddr=12:43:12:12:23:32 -net nic,vlan=3 \ -net vde /usr/jail/root/m0n0jab/work/image.bin
Make sure to use the VLAN tag otherwise you'll get some serious broadcast storms.
