Let's say you are on machine A and want to run qemu (virtual system
C) on machine B.  If you want to ssh into the qemu system, how do the
network packets get forwarded from A to C? The only way I could see
to do that is via a bridge on B that has both the ip addresses for B
and C.

Use port forwarding:

launch qemu (on machine B) with:
-net user,vlan=0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-10.0.2.9:22
(this needs the VM to be configured with a static IP, 10.0.2.9 in this
example)

then use ssh <user>@<B address or B name> -p 2222 (on machine A)

where <user> is username on C machine. You can change 2222 to any
value above 1024, which is not in use on your computer.

Just to be clear : if you change 2222 to something else, it has to be
done both in the "-net user" line and the "-p" option

I had not considered ssh port forwarding, but the bridge technique is still valid. The way I do it is to add the IP for C to A's (and B's) /etc/hosts file and then connecting is as easy as 'ssh C' from either system.

Using port forwarding a user can always create an alias or script on A and B to connect to C with a simple command. The port forwarding has the advantage of not needing to be run as root (or setting capabilities on /sbin/ip and /usr/sbin/brctl).

I think this amounts to a preference, however using port forwarding is instructive (as is the bridge example).

Should we add port forwarding as an alternative to the qemu configuration?
