171.204.107 is mentions a LOT of times. As well as KVM the host is running Virtualmin with several websites. Things have moved on a bit. I had to tell my hosting company the MAC address, as setup network per there instructions. But now I have same IP twice on br0 as well as enp7s0. 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,...

So I could use virbr0 instead of br0 but if I am using br0 I should delete virbr0.

GATEWAY goes on the bridge not enp7s0?

Server is not currently using NetworkManager. Decided to keep it that way as learning kvm is enough, for now, don't want to also learn NetworkManager (I want to have a fairly good understanding of things before I use them in production). $ systemctl status NetworkManager.service ● NetworkManager.ser...

This is odd, the main interface (enp7s0) has an IP address. There is no IP address in the ifcfg-enp7s0, its in ifcfg-br0. Things seems to be working but when I set this up on my test server I did not get a IP on the main interface. Any ideas? UPDATE: actually almost all is working. When I do virt-in...

I am going to talk to fasthosts about br-369501bb177f. Want to find out what it is before deleting it. Not sure how I can find out what it is doing? There is no ifcfg for it. Think its part of the initial Fasthosts setup, the person who originally set up the server only has rudimentary Linux underst...

So I've broadly speaking correct. I don't need IPs on the bridge or secondary IP, I just set it in VM? I have access to the server console (they call it KVM, Keyboard Video Mouse I think it stands for). Was a real faf to set up end has to use Internet Explorer but I got it working before changing st...

Read your original post in this thread, did read it several times last night but it was getting late. So I don't need an IP address on host Secondary IP interface, I put it in the VM. I do need the IP on NIC interface on test server aa I am using it to connect to host. But for production, I do not n...

Thanks, again, I think I am understanding. I set VM IP to the Secondery IP and (as long as firewall permits) the internet can access the VM via the IP (via the bridge). So you go VM->Bridge->VLAN->Router but I could go VM->Bridge-> Router . I will learn about VLAN as put in at some future date and p...

I broadly understand a lot of the ideas you are talking about but have not used a lot of the technologies. A cople of things are really confusing me. " As I said above, if this is the only link, then the IP is the one and only address of the host. The "primary". I have one NIC with two IPs. Are you ...

Sorry, yes, rebuilt the VM and all is good. Mu question was "Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. I thought you were saying disabling NM was a good option, or are you saying keep network and network manager but use 'systemctl stop/start/restart NetworkManager' and keep both. " I set a static IP on...
