Hello I am trying to install KVM based VMs on my machine. First Timer...little idea on actually configuring related networking related issues. Am planning to follow this howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-a-centos-6.3-server
My trial machine is a server cum desktop with two network ports..eth0 is normally used for LAN & Internet access...eth1 is reserved for use with LTSP which is to be configured later. I need my VMs to be reachable from the internet by ssh & vnc etc. required ports will be forwarded from the Internet router. I propose to use subnet 10.0.1.0/24 for my virtual machines. Can someone please advise the content of bridge configuration file at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0, as given in the howto? The two bridges ltspbr0 & virbr0 shown below, are created by packages installed & not by me, so if any modifications are required in them...I need to know. Also, please advise if it is possible to get the VMs to use a 3G usb device for Internet access through the host machine Network Manage, in case Internet access through eth0 is down? Though this is not a priority at this stage, as I am just learning to use my first VM, but I'd like this feature if it is not too difficult. With regards.
