Hello everyone, I'm learning about bridged networking and how it is applied to virtual environments (bypassing all the automation provided by libvirtd etc) . I have a question regarding ip configuration for the virtual bridge.
Let's say I have a host (my machine) where I want to run 3 VMs bridged to my home network (thru eth0). I have a DHCP server running on my DSL router, and I have dhcp enabled on my 3 VMs so they all should get a lease from the DHCP. As far as a I know these are the raw steps needed to accomplish this: 1- create br0 2- remove current ip address from eth0 3- enslave eth0 to br0 4- create tap devices 5- attach tap devices to br0 6- assign tap devices to every VM As you can see I haven't assigned an ip address to the virtual bridge (br0). Why is it that (on almost any site that I visit with this setup) they always end up assigning an ip address to br0? Thanks in advance!
