I have been trying to have Windows Server in a virtual machine. However, I need it to be connected to the host network. After setting up a Bridge in /etc/network/interfaces
, the bridge had internet connection. However, in the Windows Server VM, the network would show up as "Unidentified Network" and has no internet. I have installed the virtio drivers from here (using iso file)
/etc/network/interfaces/
(some information redacted):
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eno1
iface eno1 inet dhcp
iface eno1 inet static
address x.x.x.x/27
auto eno2
iface eno2 inet manual
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eno2
auto eno3
iface eno3 inet manual
auto br1
iface br1 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eno3
XML configuration for NIC of VM:
<interface type="bridge">
<mac address="52:54:00:d7:15:51"/>
<source bridge="br1"/>
<model type="virtio"/>
<link state="up"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x05" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</interface>
If there is any more information needed to diagnose, I can provide it here.
Thanks in advance!
