pass br0 and virbr0 both to VM?

[uek2wooF]

How can I pass both br0 and virbr0 (or other private net) to a VM?  Where do I add additional private nets?

 

Thanks!

First point you can modify your private network on settings and after network settings.

For your VM you can modify that on the settings from the VM.

In network settings I don't see any way to add virtual networks.  I even disabed docker and VMs to get it to allow edits.

 

I do see now where to add nets in the VM though.  Thanks.

I can only have br0 or virbr0 for the pfsense VM.  If I try to use both only the first one is seen.

I randomly modified the xml and got them both through to pfsense.   I changed bus and function on the second one to 0x01 and 0x1.  The multifunction part got added automatically I think when I did that.  If only I could find the docs on the xml so I didn't have to guess all the time.

 

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='66:66:00:de:ad:b2'/>
      <source bridge='virbr0'/>
      <target dev='vnet0'/>
      <model type='vmxnet3'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
    </interface>
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='66:66:00:de:ad:d5'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <target dev='vnet1'/>
      <model type='vmxnet3'/>
      <alias name='net1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x1'/>
    </interface>

 

And I found a 2015 forum post on how to get multiple persistent virtual nets.  Haven't tried it out yet:

Still not there, now they randomly come up as vmx0 or vmx1 each boot.  No way to distinguish them.

The standard Libvirt XML Format applies.

I just had them mixed up.  I don't think it is switching them.  All good now thanks.

 

Not sure why everything is so hard though.  Am I really the first person to bridge networks to pfsense?  Passing through a 4-port intel nic was a nightmare also.  Easy on linux though.

Could you please copy paste your XML configuration?

Maybe a screen shot of the confing, not XML would help me as well, thanks

  Sorry for the delay, just saw your reply.
