May 16, 20188 yr Hello people, I'm having problems passing my nic to a vm. I have read all the guides but my problem seems unique, both my onboard and pcie nic are of the same brand and feature the same controller so I cannot differentiate them. How can I pass the extra one to a vm? This is my PCIE Devices and IOMMU paste for the nics [10ec:8168] 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

May 16, 20188 yr Why not enable the bridge function on the second interface (br1) and let the VM use br1? This solution doesn't require passthru of the individual interface, but the VM has direct access to the bridge interface. When I let two VMs communicate to each other over their respective bridge interface, I can get speeds close to 25 Gb/s (using iperf) Edited May 16, 20188 yr by bonienl
