<html><head></head><body>I have always found the tap+bridge style easier than pcap. It works just as you would expect a separate computer to work. With pcap I was never sure what happened when talking to the local computer.<br>

Bridged virtual interfaces is what you use for other virtual machines, why not simh?<br>

<pre class="k9mail">Joshua,<br /><br />PLEASE consider Scott's configuration as advanced configuration details <br />that you may want to deploy when you are polishing up what you're putting <br />together. DO NOT start with this stuff. Start with basic pcap networking<br />and migrate your existing system environment to a simh instance and<br />get that completely working before considering this stuff. In other words, <br />learn to walk before you try running!<br /><br />- Mark<br /><br />On Friday, March 4, 2016 at 7:15 AM, Scott Bailey wrote:<br /><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> Sigh.

I need is ready to go:<br /><br />if ! ip link show tap0 ; then<br /> tunctl -t tap0<br /> ifconfig tap0 up<br /> brctl addif br0 tap0<br />fi<br /><br />Here, tap0 is the device I am setting up for my virtual VAX and br0 is<br />my physical interface. (As a reminder, going through this rather than<br />putting simh directly on the physical interface is what enables your<br />virtual VAX and your Debian host to talk to each other.)<br /></blockquote> <br /> Actually, of course, br0 is a bridge device that lets me connect tap0 to my<br /> physical interface. I have this in /etc/network/interfaces:<br /> <br /> # The bridge interface<br /> <br /> auto br0<br /> iface br0 inet static<br /> bridge_ports eth1<br /> address X.Y.Z.3<br /> broadcast X.Y.Z.255<br /> netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a><br /> gateway X.Y.Z.1<br /> <br /> That is, if you current specify a device (like eth1) directly, transfer its settings to<br />
br0 and attach the original NIC as a bridge port. [Or change instances of "eth1"<br /> to "br0", then add the "bridge_ports eth1" line.] Then continue as I originally<br /> described...<br /> <br /> Cheers,<br /> Scott<br /></blockquote><hr /><br />Simh mailing list<br />Simh@trailing-edge.com<br /><a href="http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh">http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
