Hello,
I have issues setting up bridged networking on a FreeBSD host with a FreeBSD guest, on a Dedibox.
So far I haven’t succeeded communicating with the guest, though I now that it’s running and can see what it displays with VNC.
The host setup is as follows:
- FreeBSD 11.1
- VirtualBox 5.2.12_1 (no x11)
- network card: igb0
- ip : x.x.27.43
- gw: x.x.27.1
- all the configuration described at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization-host-virtualbox.html
- vm set up with --nictype1 virtio --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 igb0 --macaddress1 yyyyyyyyyyyyyy
- I use the network card directly (igb0) and the virtual MAC address associated with the guest failover IP address
The guest setup is as follows:
- FreeBSD 11.1
- network card: vtnet0
- ip : x.x.37.63 (an “IP failover address” pointing to my host server)
- gw: 62.210.0.1 (a completely different gateway that Online is telling me to use with VMs)
What am I missing?
Do I need to put some routing info to direct the IP traffic to my VM failover IP / virtual MAC addresses?
Do I need to use a bridge+tap device like I did a few years back?
Best regards,
