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 Thanks
What am I doing wrong with this network configuration for KVM (F5 virtual edition)
Hello, I have been trying to setup an F5 lab using KVM on debian. I currently have the following network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces - see output pasted at end of post) although whenever I go to create the VM in KVM, only one tap is associated with the bridge (trying to use the taps for management, external, and internal interfaces on the F5 VM). (see screenshot at end of post) Would anyone have any suggestions for configuring networking properly for this setup? I'm open to anything at this point in time. Thanks for your help. source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* auto lo iface lo inet loopback allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet6 auto auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp pre-up ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user root pre-up ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap user root pre-up ip tuntap add dev tap2 mode tap user root pre-up ip link set tap0 up pre-up ip link set tap1 up pre-up ip link set tap2 up bridge_ports all tap0 tap1 tap2 bridge_stp off bridge_maxwait 0 bridge_fd 0 post-down ip link set tap0 down post-down ip link set tap1 down post-down ip link set tap2 down post-down ip tuntap del dev tap0 mode tap post-down ip tuntap del dev tap1 mode tap post-down ip tuntap del dev tap2 mode tapBIGIP Next - SHARED-00001: Internal server error
In the process of setting up a BIGIP Next Lab on 20.2. After getting the CM and two Instances deployed and the two instances pulled into CM. I get this error when trying to look at details of either instance. Error: Unable to retrieve this BIG-IP Next instance's creation manifest: SHARED-00001: Internal server error So far I have not been able to figure what is causing this error. Gone as rebuilt everything with 20.1 and 20.0 versions and the error is still there, just worded differently between the versions. Instance status show Healthy, i am just unable to move on with creating vlans, ha and such because that error message is preventing edit of instance details Any ideas? I am still new to working with Next so stumbling through were to find logs and such compare to BIGIP Classic:)
