[kwlug-disc] Fedora 20 bridged networking

[Chris Irwin]

It was requested that I post my bridge configuration. This is on Fedora 
20 machine with Network Manager disabled, since it's a headless machine 
with static configuration.

I actually forgot how this network was configured when I offered to post 
this configuration. You'll note that there is no IP address to access 
this interface. It is purely dedicated to VM traffic. The host has an 
additional NIC for all of it's communication, configured in the normal way.


/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br_lan:
=START=========================
DEVICE=br_lan
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=none
NM_CONTROLLED=no
IPV6INIT="no"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="no"
IPV6_DEFROUTE="no"
=END==========================


/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p12p1:
=START=========================
TYPE="Ethernet"
ONBOOT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BRIDGE=br_lan
HWADDR="00:0e:0c:cf:80:4d"
IPV6INIT="no"
=END==========================

Within the VM definition xml, the network config looks like this:
=START=========================
     <interface type='bridge'>
       <mac address='52:54:00:25:75:4b'/>
       <source bridge='br_lan'/>
       <model type='virtio'/>
       <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' 
function='0x0'/>
     </interface>
=END==========================
