Re: [fedora-virt] Network issue between host server and libvirt client

I was some what confused as the libvirt client was able to talk on

internet but then seemed not to be able to talk to a host on the local

the one it is being hosted on. I'm sure it is something simple, but I
have very little experience with libvirt. Here is the client
configuration:
<interface type='direct'>
<mac address='52:54:00:1b:4b:94'/>
<source dev='p57p1' mode='bridge'/>
<target dev='macvtap0'/>
<model type='rtl8139'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
What you describe is a side effect of type='direct'/macvtap, you need a
special type of host switch for the VM to talk to the host AIUI.

Also, that nic should probably be using model type='virtio'
