  • KVM Guest Unable to reach Gateway Through Bridge Vlan Tag

    Posted on

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm facing an issue that KVM guest unable to ping gateway with topology below :

    ------------------------------------------------
    |   Router ---->  KVM host ----- >KVM guest  |
    -------------------------------------------------
    

    with configured networking :

    • Router has configured non-tagged VLAN and Vlan57 on eth1 interface.

      1. Non tagged VLAN with IP : 192.168.56.101/24
      2. Tagged VLAN ID 57 with IP : 192.168.57.101/24
    • KVM host has configured :

      1. enp0s3 --> main ethernet interface
      2. br0 ---> bridge with slave enp0s3 with IP : 192.168.56.201/24
      3. br0.57 --> vlan interface for vlan ID 57 through br0 (enp0s3).
      4. virbr57 --> bridge with slave br0.57 vlan and vnet(x) of KVM guests with IP : 192.168.57.201/24
    • KVM guest has configured :

      1. Network configuration : Bridged to virbr57 (KVM host)
      2. enp0s3 --> 192.168.57.202/24 (normal configuration)

    Conditions :
    - KVM host can reach to the Router interfaces.
    - KVM guest unable to reach the Router interfaces.
    - KVM guest can reach KVM host IP and other KVM guest ON same IP segment
    - I have enabled 802.1Q module AND IP forwarder on sysctl.conf.

    What the problem and what the configuration has missed?
    Thank you.

    Regards,
