Hello qemu users, I am failing to make a qemu process running inside a docker container to make use of a macvtap device.
Here is the diagram of a setup that I have [image: image.png] My goal is to make qemu process running inside the container to use macvtap1 interface that is configured. The macvtap1 interface that I have, is using the underlying /dev/tap2 interface. That I deducted by checking ifindex (2) of macvtap1 interface I tried multiple approaches. 1) to open the device, obtain its fd and pass fd to the qemu: -device e1000,netdev=p01,mac=9a:d2:fc:3b:d9:71,bus=pci.1,addr=0x2 -netdev tap,id=p01,fd=3 2) referring to "tap2" in ifname of netdev section: -netdev tap,id=p01,ifname=tap2 None of those approaches worked. By "none of them" worked I mean that I don't see any packets when I sniff on "macvtap1" interface when I do a ping from the VM that is launched with qemu. I appreciate any pointers or suggestions in further troubleshooting.
