The taps are allocated an IP address. I fully concur. In the install at one point, I declare that the IP address, netmask and gateway are 'declared' at the 'MB ' BIOS interface. > >What must I do to convince this box that is it on a switch > > On the bhyve host it should be configured just like any other bhyve virtual > machine.

I do have an iso of the MB drivers, namely a Supermicro X10DRW-i MB and from Intel I did obtain the .exe file for the i350GbE drivers. I script a 2 phase installation as follows: 1) /usr/sbin/bhyve -c 2 -m 4G -w -H -s 3,ahci-cd,./.iso/14393.0.160715-1616.RS1_RELEASE_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO -s 4,ahci-hd,windows2016.img -s 5,virtio-net,tap15 -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=800,h=600,wait -s 30,xhci,tablet -s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd windows2016guest 2) /usr/sbin/bhyve -c 2 -m 4G -w -H -s 3,ahci-cd,./.iso/null-install.iso -s 4,ahci-hd,windows2016.img -s 5,virtio-net,tap15 -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=1024,h=768,wait -s 30,xhci,tablet -s 31,lpc -l com1,/dev/nmdm15A -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd windows2016guest & As I said, I have picked up an ISO from the MB manufacturer let's call it manufacturer.iso . Where do I place said iso in the 'phase' of things? > Matt > > >192.168.0.60 > > >Thar is handling the default routing to the interent. > > >For argument sake , > > >the Windows server is IP as 192.168.0.68 > > > >I have an ubuntu up at 192.168.0.57 > >a Centos at 192.168.0.54 > >and > >Fedora at 192.168.0.53 > > >all running successfully. -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca God,Queen and country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! http://www.fullyfollow.me/rootnl2k Look at Psalms 14 and 53 on Atheism Time for the USA to hold a referendum on its republic and vote to dissolve!! _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
