As Hiro mentioned it is strange that both sides have the same
mac addr as that will confuse them both. Pick a different one

Thanks Hiro and Bakul for your prompt responses.
Here's what I've got to report...
I brought tap0 as user root:
ip link set dev tap0 up
ip addr show dev tap0
4: tap0: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether c6:1c:63:d9:91:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet
I thought that the mac address in the qemu command had to be the same as
the link/ether address of the tap device.
Should I make one up and use that in the qemu command?
Thanks.

nothing in the fqa mentions the tap device's mac address (which linux
generated randomly in order not to conflict with whatever you might be
using on the other side).
look at the tap device as an ethernet interface that is plugged into
the same L2 switch as the VM's virtual interface.
you don't
Understood.
I'll give it a try and let you know how I go.
Thanks.
