Hey Shanker, many thanks for your fast reply and your detailed answers. Maybe you can answer some additional questions?
In the install documentation on point 8.1.5.Is the libvirt configuration only needed if I want to do live migration or shall I configure this always? Regarding the Bridge config. That's really interesting. Because I thought I have to configure a bridge for every traffic type, even for my public traffic which is on a VLAN. So I just set the traffic label on all to cloudbr0 and cloudstack creates it automatically, but regarding public-traffic, iam right that I shall not specifiy a VLAN ID in the create zone wizard Because my interface is already configured as a vlan interface?!?! -----Original Message----- From: Shanker Balan [mailto:shanker.ba...@shapeblue.com] Sent: Donnerstag, 21.

CloudStack uses traffic labels to determine the NIC to use. In the case of KVM, the traffic label map to the "cloudbr" interface. So, create "cloudbr0" and which maps to the bond0 interface. Since you have only one bond, all traffic labels would point to "cloudbr0" in your case. > 2.

If iam right, cloudstack will create the bridges for guest networks? > Yes, cloudstack will create the bridge for the guests. Once you have specific the traffic label (cloudbr0 in your case since you have only one bond), the bridges will get created to bond0. > And what is the right order?
