KVM home lab setup and configuration
Hey guys, Has anyone used KVM as means of creating a virtual home lab with separate vlans. I have tried time and time again to get separate vlans created using virtualbox and have followed the documentation found on dev central but its seems out dated as I could not create separate vlans using bridging. The following is my current lab setup and configuration possibilities I am seeking advice on. Host: Laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 (using 15.10 but will upgrading soon to the new LTS) Guests: Some distro running lamp, debain or centos Network: I was able to configure the management interface just fine 192.168.1.254 VLANS: I am not too experienced with kvm so I am not sure the best way to configure seperate vlans. But I have attempted this but again I could not created the vlans for so that my Guests could send traffic on. Ideas that I have been tossing around: -use cumlus vm switch to emulate a switch and assign vlan ids and vlans on it -using avaya os to emulate switching and routing... not sure if avaya can also do L3 switching or not? Any suggestions and or experiences will be helpful ThanksHome f5 virtual lab NIC issues
Hey guys, I am having issues setting up home a lab using virtualbox (as I run linux - ubuntu) on my desktop. I want to create a 2nd interface on the VM (eht1) but for some reason bigip will not assign an ip even when bridging is used on that interface. I have eth0 setup as a host only adaptor for the management interface which I do obtain an IP and can access the web interface to start the install process. I want the 2nd NIC so I create separate vlans of it with other vms any help is appreciated thanks
