Ahoy friends. I have been struggeling for almost 3 days now, and it's quite hard to find appropriate information about KVM regarding the creation of bridges. Yesterday i have set up a new Fedora 31 Server using VirtualBox (Because i would like to try out things first, before applying them on my physical system) and there are a few problems. I use Cockpit right now to manage the virtual machines, and i create them using virt-builder to avoid the installation process. Alright so far. I got some special wishes, so i would like to act with my virtual machines like real computers from the network's perspective. So i would like to pass them through like i do on VirtualBox, do use their own hostname in the network, to access them using SSH etc. But there are a few problems. After getting crazy because of tons of tutorials i finally followed this guide from Fedoramagazine https://fedoramagazine.org/create-virtual-machines-with-cockpit-in-fedora/ to get support for KVM using the Web interface. This bridging stuff seems to be really complicated, because i don't want static ip addresses for the virtual machines, i want them to be assigned by the DHCP (in this case my local network's router). All the tutorials i found are meant to assign static addresses, or another one i found was for Debian, unfortunately nothing for CentOS or Fedora which i'm using. So i tried to to create bridges using the web GUI like i do on VirtualBox, but i only receive this error: ` "Unable to add bridge enp0s8 port vnet0: Operation not supported"` In this case enp0s8 is my secondary NIC, i use 2 just to get sure nothing get's borked. I did some research about this error, but i didn't find anything useful. Does someone finally knows how to get my plans running? Maybe using commandline stuff as well? So in conclusion i want all the VMs to get their own ip assigned by my local network's router. enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here
