Public bug reported: Hello QEMU devs,
I am trying to create a simulated VLAN using socket networking, and the only way to connect multiple networks in QEMU using socket networking is by using the multicast `mcast` option of the `socket` network backend. However, when I try use the following arguments in QEMU to create a multicast socket network: `-device e1000,id=sock-0 -netdev id=sock-0,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234` it fails with: `can't bind ip address=230.0.0.1: unknown error` in my Windows host. I would like to know if this is a bug, or if I am missing a prerequisite before running the QEMU command. By the way, I am using Windows 10, and running a cross-compiled QEMU 4.2.0. ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Hello QEMU devs, I am trying to create a simulated VLAN using socket networking, and the only way to connect multiple networks in QEMU using socket networking is by using the multicast `mcast` option of the `socket` network backend.
