Hi all,

My test environment

Host os=rhel6.1

Guest os = rhel6.1

Libvirt=0.9.8

Kvm hypervisor

I have made this entry in guest xml file

<interface type='direct'>

<source dev='eth0' mode='bridge'/>

<model type='virtio'/>

<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>

</interface>

Now when I start the guest

*#virsh start guest*

Following macvtap0 is created on host and is shown below

#*ip link show macvtap0*

51: macvtap0@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UNKNOWN qlen 500

    link/ether 52:54:00:55:AE:B5brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

but when the guest is up and I try to perform

* *

*# ifup eth0*

It gives following message

"Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

[FAILED]"

The interface name may change to ethN(N may be 1 or 2 ...) due to the change of guest interface mac address.
You can log in guest and use command: "ip  link show" to get the value of N.
Then create ifcfg-ethN for it and use "ifup ethN" to start it in guest.

Guest eth interface does not create. What is the problem?

When I checked *dmesg* on host it gives following message---"macvatp0: ipv6 routers not present"

Please let me know how macvtap work on kvm.
