binding physical interfaces to virtual interfaces

binding physical interfaces to virtual interfaces

[carlopmart]

Hi all,

  I have a linux host with three physical interfaces: br0, br1 and br2. i would 
like to setup a virtual guest with three virtual interfaces binded each one to 
each physical host interface like on vmware or xen I can do. How can I do??

Many thanks.

Create three copies of /etc/kvm/kvm-ifup, where each one assigns the
tap device to a differrent bridge.

Then, just add multiple -net nic options to the kvm commandline to
create the virtual nics, and multiple -net tap options, using the
script=/path/to/custom/kvm-ifup parameter to assign each nic to a
separate bridge.

See the kvm man page for all the details.
