No networking connectivity in KVM guests / VPS

Post by ringmany » 2017/08/11 12:06:44

Hi everyone,

I'm setting up KVM host on my Centos 6 Dedicated server. I've managed to get the VPS / guests built and running, but they have no connectivity. The IP's have been raised on the guests, they're using my bridge on the KVM (br0) but the IP's aren't being pinged and they can't ping externally. The KVM and the guest are able to ping each other, but the guests can't connect outside the KVM. 100% packet loss. The KVM is able to make and receive external connections.

The command being used to create the guest is:

Code: Select all

virt-install --name=vps2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vps2.img,size=8 --ram=512 --os-type=linux --network bridge:br0 --nographics --extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial' --location '/tmp/CentOS-6.9-x86_64-minimal.iso' --boot cdrom
Here's my networking settings for the KVM host:

/etc/sysconfig.network

Code: Select all

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=****
NOZEROCONF=yes
GATEWAY="91.***.***.254"

I've tried adding the IP's via the default.xml in the host:

/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml

Code: Select all

<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid>e0***:***45</uuid>
  <forward mode='nat'/>
  <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0' />
  <mac address='52:***:***:5E'/>
  <ip address='192.***.***.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='192.***.***.2' end='192.***.***.254' />
      <host mac='52:***:***:e7' name='vps1' ip='91.***.***.217' />
      <host mac='52:***:***:bc' name='vps2' ip='91.***.***.219' />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>
I've created various rules within IP tables to allow traffic between the 2 servers, but no luck. I've disabled SElinux and iptables, but still no connectivity.

The IP appears to be raised on my guest, it's using the bridge, it's using Googles nameservers, yet there's no connectivity and I'm unable to ping the guest IP's. My though that was the KVM wasn't allowing bridged traffic between the guests and the outside world, but even with IP tables disabled, there's still nothing.

The guests aren't able to ping the gateway:

Code: Select all

ping 91.***.***.254
PING 91.***.***.254 (91.***.***.254) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 91.***.***.254 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3889ms
But I can arping the KVM itself from the guest:

Code: Select all

arping 91.***.***.216
ARPING 91.***.***.216 from 91.***.***.216 eth0
Unicast reply from 91.***.***.216 [D0:67:**:E7:04:7C]  1.172ms
Unicast reply from 91.***.***.216 [D0:67:**:E7:04:7C]  1.523ms
Sent 2 probes (1 broadcast(s))
Received 2 response(s)

Do you believe it may be related to a failure between the bridge and the guest? If you need any further info, let me know. Thanks.

Who has vnet2? Why is the virbr0 in use at all?
