Hi all,
I try to setup guest network with macvlan, as guest cannot communicate with
host directly, i try to workaround by configuring host to using a macvlan
interface
host: Gentoo x64, kernel 3.5.2, qemu-kvm 1.1.1-r1, libvirt 0.9.13
guest: Ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.4.9, virtio-net
The host is using macvlan (interface name: znet0, ip: 192.168.1.2, bridge mode)
The guest is using macvtap managed by libvirt (interface name: macvtap0, ip:
192.168.1.184, bridge mode, with vhost)
I am facing a strange problem that the guest/host can communicate only when the
network cable of the ethernet adapter is connected.
The network config of the host
$ifconfig

when network cable of host is plugged in
$ ping 192.168.1.184
PING 192.168.1.184 (192.168.1.184) 56(84) bytes of data.

Afterward, i unplugged the network cable to ensure that packet is not routed
via external router, but the test seems failed.

Do anyone have similar problem? Am i missing something?
