Hi, Hi, I'm having all kind of issues with VMware Server on Opensuse 11.0 and decided to use VirtualBox, the only issue is that it doesn't handle bridged networks automagically and NetworkManager has to be disabled.

Having seen the xen bridge schema on sles|opensuse, is it possible to adapt it to work with VirtualBox?, that way the physical interface will be renamed as peth0 and the bridged interface will take the eth0 name, that way NetworkManager should see it and work as a usual.

Any thoughts?

Well, I do not use NetworkManager on my VirtualBox Machine. But my system is setting up all network needs automatically. If you have hit any kind of problem I may be able to help you by providing all steps and configuration files. Just say what your problem is.

Hi, the issue is not within the VM. I would like to setup bridged network for the VMs and still be able to use NetworkManager on the physical host. Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That was what I asked. If NetworkManager is a must have for you... then I cannot help you.

Sorry.

Never mind, can you specify hoy do you handle tap devices creation automatically?, custom scripts?. Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Never mind, can you specify hoy do you handle tap devices creation automatically?, custom scripts?.

1) Defined my eth0 to ip 0.0.0.0 ( on YaST ). You can also comment your IP/NETMASK on /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 2) On /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 make sure you have LINK_OPTIONS='promisc on' 3) created a bridge device br0 ( on YaST ) and added eth0 as br0 member. br0 is now my "master" NIC. 4) added to tap's for my 2 virtual machines: "/usr/bin/VBoxAddIF tap0 username br0" ( you can also you -g groupname to add to all users ). Also added tap1 5) Added my username to vboxusers group 6) Now the only thing I did not find a easy way to do was that all tap devices need to be set to promiscue mode. SuSE let's you do this but, when vboxnet starts, it reconfigures the tap devices al leave them on a non promiscue state. Here is how I did it: 6.1) At /etc/ini.d/vboxnet search for: ifconfig "$interface" up 2> /dev/null 6.2) and replace it with ifconfig "$interface" up promisc 2> /dev/null Then just issue: ~# rcnetwork restart ~# rcvboxnet restart Also get additional hints at: http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox
