Hi LittleEyes
I want to bridge between one VM to another VM without using real physical interface.
The are couple of reason of that.
Reason number one. Each my VM generate layer 2 BPDU and run STP protocol so if i bridge all BPDU to a signel physical interface
it create a huge problem. ( VLAN will not fix anything )
Reason two. Each VM in my case require 3-4 virtual interface and I need to run 4 different VM
I just don't have sufficient USB port to simulate 15 physical ethernet port.
(As I said VLAN will not fix problem)
From a layer 2 perspective each pair of link between each VM need to be a pair of virtual point to point link.
so my idea
create tap0 and vmnet100 for VM 1 interface 1, tap1 vmnet101 VM 1 interface 2 ... etc
so each VM and each virtual interface mapped to separate vmnet
Then I need simualate p2p connect between each pair
I can use two method and none of them actuall work explained before.
a. Use Mountain kernel briding capability. ( it there since BSD time)
b. Use Native Fusion method vmnet-bridge
Kind Regards,
Mustafa
