[Qemu-devel] Assigning Real Network IP Address to Guest OS

[Qemu-devel] Assigning Real Network IP Address to Guest OS

[Volkan YAZICI]

Hi,

Finally I managed to install Windows Server 2003 on a Debian
GNU/Linux. Just with below configurations, network works without a touch
in the guest OS.

  host> cat /etc/network/interfaces
  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  
  # The bridge network interface(s)
  auto br0
  iface br0 inet static
          address 192.168.1.10
          network 192.168.1.0
          netmask 255.255.255.0
          broadcast 192.168.1.255
          gateway 192.168.1.1
          bridge_ports eth0
          bridge_fd 9
          bridge_hello 2
          bridge_maxage 12
          bridge_stp off

I can make any sort of network operation on the guest OS. But what I
really want to do is to assign a static IP to the guest OS in the
192.168.1.0/24 network, to be able to access to guest OS through
machines in the same network. For this purpose, what kind of
configuration should I follow? I such an adjustment possible via
brdiging configuration? If not, I have a second NIC in the host OS
(eth1), can I use that interface for that?

I couldn't find any solutions on the qemu wiki and google. Any kind of
help will be appreciated. (Documentation pointers are welcome as well.)


Regards.

I use this kind of configuration on a debian etch (host) with winxp
(guest).

on your host, you must have an /etc/qemu-ifup like this:

#!/bin/sh
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1

And in your guest configure it using a valid IP address for your host
network (I use DHCP), something like 192.168.1.11. You must also
configure guest route to use real gateway.

then remember to start qemu with "-net nic -net tap".

Worked like a charm! Thanks so much for the prompt reply!
