Set up networking for VirtualBox:
local = host OS that runs VBox VM# = VBox that runs on local host
Create an .sh script with the following. Be sure to change the USER and NUMBER_OF_VM switches accordingly.
install needed packages
- bridge-utils
- uml-utilities
run this script on local host as root
#!/bin/sh # set PATH for the case we are called via sudo or su root PATH=/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin/ USER=michael_VM NUMBER_OF_VM=1 # create the bridge brctl addbr br0 # create the taps and insert them into the bridge NB=1 while [ $NB -lt $NUMBER_OF_VM ] do tunctl -t tap$NB -u $USER ip link set up dev tap$NB brctl addif br0 tap$NB let NB=$NB+1 done # set the IP address and routing ip link set up dev br0 ip addr add 10.1.1.1/24 dev br0 ip route add 10.1.1.0/24 dev br0
============================= END SCRIPT =========================================
Your host requires a bridge for every VBox that you need to run concurrently.
Change the IPADDR to make it UNIQUE
Edit the VMBox's /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 file
============================= START =========================================
- Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=noe HWADDR=08:00:27:BF:37:7F ONBOOT=yes NETMASCK=255.255.255.0 IPADDR=10.1.1.15 USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY=10.1.1.15 TYPE=Ethernet IPV6INIT=no
============================= END =========================================
Within Virtual Box GUI, change the networking to a single BRIDGED interface that uses br0.
Note: The above script needs to have the correct amount of TAPS, otherwise some VM's won't have networking.
Note: Make sure to have an /etc/resolv.conf file that ONLY has the line. Bringing eth0 up will take a very long time otherwise.
