[Qemu-devel] Vdeqemu question?

[Ishwar Rattan]

I have Linux (Debian absed) system with
qemu-0.8.0 and vde-2.0.1 installed and running.

It comes out that vdeqemu does not pass the macaddress
info correctly to qemu:

vdeqemu -hda ./image1 -m 128 &

and

vdeqemu -hda ./image2 -m 128 -net nic,macaddr=54:42:00:12:34:57 &

end up having the same macaddress.

Any one using this type of setups?

Add -net vde and it should work.

Thanks for the information. It works. Now I
see one more problem.

Dept has two LANs (169.x and 170.X), my desktop
is on 169.x (static IP) and 170.x is used for DHCP server.

Qemu guest, gets a DHCP address, I change it to an unused
IP in 169.x (ipconfig/route add). The guest OS works fine
for a few hours and than resets network interface back to
DHCP address?

Any pointers to a solution for this annoying problem.
(How to make the 169.x address stick in guest OS).

Sounds like a guest configuration problem, ie nothing to do with qemu.

My guess is you're still running dhcpcd on the guest. When the original IP 
lease expires this is revewing the licence, just like it's supposed to.
