Almost correctly. > Some general questions, should br0 be up or down? What should my vm MAC > be? The same as my physical card (peth) which is also the same as the > bridge (br0)? The vnet0 does not match. (output later) br0 needs to be up. peth0 should have a different mac address. Found out this breakthrough on a Xen page: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking So I got it working and life is now good. Here's my rc.local script (which will probably change slightly as I refine what I'm trying accomplish). rc.local: ifdown br0 ip link set peth0 down ip link set peth0 address 00:ff:ff:ff:ff:00 arp off ifup peth0 sleep 1 ifup br0 # but with no ip address, new mac address route add default gw 192.168.5.254 iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -A FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT service libvirtd start :::::::::::::: ifcfg-br0 :::::::::::::: DEVICE=br0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=bridge MACADDR=fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:00 # doesn't work unfortunately :::::::::::::: ifcfg-peth0 :::::::::::::: # 3Com Corporation 3c900B-TPO Etherlink XL [Cyclone] DEVICE=peth0 HWADDR=00:50:04:7F:B5:A3 ONBOOT=yes BRIDGE=br0 So over the weekend I got a virtual smoothwall firewall up and running and also a virtual CentOS 5 mail and http server. I can now upgrade my "desktop" with virtual impunity. Thanks team.
