I see your point; I've tried right now... and it worked! Thanks for your help, really greatly appreciated. Anyway, a small detail: At first, I've tried to bring host interfaces (eth1,kvmbr0 and tap0) up to 1504, no problem. Then I've started guest machine and tried to raise eth0 to 1504, but it seems that virtio driver refuses mtu bigger than 1500. So the only difference with your recipe is that I've left all host interfaces (physical, tap and bridge) to an MTU of 1500 and set, on guest, eth0 to 1500, vlans to 1496. So it was eth0 on guest to complain and not bridge, but now it's working like a charm. (I was sure to have tried even the combination you suggested, in all my tries, but obvously I was wrong) -- Fabio "Cova" Coatti http://members.ferrara.linux.it/cova Ferrara Linux Users Group http://ferrara.linux.it GnuPG fp:9765 A5B6 6843 17BC A646 BE8C FA56 373A 5374 C703 Old SysOps never die... they simply forget their password. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
