Hi,
I couldn't find a good search string to research about my
problem, so, I am trying in the list. If I missed something, please,
point me. :D
Problem: using host interface network, with GNU/Linux host, does
not function (it does not matter what is the OS in the guest) if the
interface (ethernet), in the host, is not connected to another device.
I mean, if ethernet device, in the host system is with link down, no
communication occurs. Guest system detects interfaces, configure it
but it does not work. Guest system can not ping host, can not access
any network in the host or internet.
I made a simple test: host system have 3 ethernets; I got a
crossed over UTP cable and connected two interfaces (including the
interface used in host interface network) and everything worked.
Conclusion: if ethernet device, used in host interface network,
is link down (in host), no guest systems using that interface (in host
interface network mode) will reach external networks.
Please, how to solve this?
Regards,
Cássio
