ping failing from master to guest hosts in a virtualized environment created using xe
I am trying to configure virtualized hosts on RHEL 5 using xen virtualization technology. I was able to successfully create two virtualized machines using virt-manager . The issue for me is that I am not able to ping from the master machine to the guest machines and vice versa . But I can ping among the guest machines.
The following are the settings on the master machine:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:??:03:?8:99 inet addr:192.168.1.2 (from DHCP server) Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
xenbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
On the guest machines the ips are configured using static IP:The ip are as follows:
node1:192.168.1.3 node2:192.168.1.5
While configuring the guest machines using "virt-manager" , Under the "Network Settings(to connect the new virtual machine to the host network)" , I selected "Virtual network (Defualt) " . Apart from default I could not see any option under Virtual Network .
Where I went wrong ? What I want is that I should be able to ping from master machine to the guest machines and vice versa. Any help will be highly appreciated . If you need any other info please let me know .
Have you considered NATing or bridging? Specifically if you choose the same IP
address range you'll have problems of the kind you see here without bridging.
Thanks Tinkster for replying back. I actually tried a re-installation of xen and used NATing while configuring the device as Virtual network . That looks to have resolved my problem.
