Bridged Networking

This page outlines setup for Networking your Server in a VM

First, configure the bridged networking on the host where you will run the oVirt Server VM

Note that these are sample configurations only

In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory create two files (substituting the names of your real iface and what you want to call the bridge). This will be used for the oVirt 'Guest Network':

ifcfg-eth0

 DEVICE=eth0
 ONBOOT=yes
 TYPE=Ethernet
 BRIDGE=breth0

ifcfg-breth0

 DEVICE=breth0
 BOOTPROTO=dhcp
 ONBOOT=yes
 PEERDNS=yes
 PEERROUTES=yes
 TYPE=Bridge

Now create/edit these two files for your oVirt 'Admin Network':

ifcfg-eth1

 DEVICE=eth1
 ONBOOT=yes
 TYPE=Ethernet
 BRIDGE=breth1

ifcfg-breth1

 DEVICE=breth1
 BOOTPROTO=none
 ONBOOT=yes
 TYPE=Bridge
 PEERNTP=yes
 DELAY=0
 IPADDR=192.168.50.1
 NETMASK=255.255.255.0

[edit]

Now, in the VM that will be your oVirt Server

Guest Network:

ifcg-eth1 (or whatever you called your file):

 DEVICE=eth5
 BOOTPROTO=dhcp
 TYPE=Ethernet
 HWADDR=<your-mac-here>:
 NM_CONTROLLED=no
 ONBOOT=yes
 USERCTL=no
 PEERDNS=yes
 IPV6INIT=no

Admin Network:

ifcg-eth0 (or whatever you called your file):

 DEVICE=eth4
 HWADDR=<your-mac-here>
 BOOTPROTO=none
 TYPE=Ethernet
 NM_CONTROLLED=no
 ONBOOT=yes
 USERCTL=no
 IPV6INIT=no
 IPADDR=192.168.50.2
 NETMASK=255.255.255.0
 GATEWAY=192.168.50.1
