  1. create BR0 without mac address.

  3. create tun1 without mac for the vm group.
  4. define a mac address within the vm.



  1. Create br0 without MAC address
  2. Plug eth0 into br0
  3. qemu-kvm -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:00:00:00 -net tap -hda linux.img ...
  4. qemu-kvm -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:00:00:01 -net tap -hda windows.img ...


Replace 52:54:00:00:00:00 and 52:54:00:00:00:01 with whatever MAC addresses your router expects.

ok, shouldn't that be this?
qemu-kvm -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:00:00:00 -net tap0 -hda linux.img ...
qemu-kvm -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:00:00:01 -net tap1 -hda windows.img ...


No, -net tap will have qemu-kvm dynamically create a new tap device and use it. -net tap0 will not work.

There is the option of using already created tap devices, which is mainly useful for invoking qemu-kvm without root privileges (tap creation requires root), this happens with -net tap,ifname=tap0, for example.

ok, I understand, I'll give it a try, thanks.
