KVM - QEMU - how to configure NIC for VM Pfsense, other vm's and physical devices

Post by luckypt » 2019/04/11 08:26:17

Hello,

I'm having problems to config one interface in KVM-QEMU, because I don't know how I have to do it.
I have one VM with PfSense - one nic (LAN) on bridge to give ip to the host and other VM's and one nic (WAN) on passthrough.
I want to configure a 3rd NIC to use with only the VM pfsense as a dhcp server to physical devices and other VM's (need network interface for this VM).
Do I need to add it in the interfaces? as a virtual network? I don't want the host machine to have access directly to the 3rd NIC.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

Maybe a short diagram could lead to more responses...

This is my setup using Debian buster as host. Debian uses ipupdown, I don't know if that the case with CentOS(?)
/etc/network/interface:

Code: Select all

#Physical interface:
iface eno1 inet manual
iface eno2 inet manual

#Bridge interfaces br0:
auto brLAN
iface brLAN inet static
        bridge_ports eno1
        address 10.0.1.10
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.0.1.1
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_maxwait 0
        bridge_fd 0

#Bridge interfaces brwan:
auto brWAN
iface brWAN inet manual
        bridge_ports eno2
        #address 10.1.1.1
        #netmask 255.255.255.0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_maxwait 0
        bridge_fd 0
     
#Loopback interface lo:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
