TUN/TAP and Ubuntu 7.10

[gazambuja]

Hi, i installed Qemu in my Ubuntu 7.10 x64, but TUN/TAP not work:

sudo qemu -hda disco.img -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0
/etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script
Could not initialize device 'tap'

I too install bridge-utils and vtun, but not work.

gustavo@LMC:~$ ls /dev/net/tun -lh
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 200 2007-10-14 21:44 /dev/net/tun


Any help?

You need to configure the device.

Here is the script I use : (add these lines to /etc/rc.local)

# For Network Bridging/TAP

# Set permissions of tun device
chown root.users /dev/net/tun #If you like you can make a group "qemusers" and use "root.qemusers"
chmod g+rw /dev/net/tun

#Add a bridge, add eth0
brctl addbr br0
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
brctl addif br0 eth0
dhclient br0

# Create tap1
tunctl -t tap1 -u <user> #Be sure to change "<user>" to your user name

# Enable tap1
brctl addif br0 tap1
ifconfig tap1 up

Then, enter this command :

sudo /etc/rc.local

If you do not use dhcp, you will need to set a static ip

ok, i have question?
i change this line:
ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc
to:
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc

(i not have eth1), but if i have eth0 with connection pppoe, this line, its fine for me?

My ifconfig now is:

gustavo@LMC:~$ ifconfig

Ooops ;redface:

I editied my script back to eth0.

Your output looks OK to me ...

Now you need to add a bridge and tap (your internet access will go down during those steps)

[gazambuja]

:-( i want have internet too (i use iptables for forwarding intenet to my guest).

[bodhi.zazen]

LOL

Your internet will come back up once the bridge and tap are configured.

I am warning you that during the configuration process your internet connection will go down.

[gazambuja]

Hello, well, yesterday i install Ubuntu 7.10 x32 and for my sorprise, qemu and TUN/TAP work fine without any extrange configuration (only install and run)... But not all is good, today, i turn on my computer and qemu not work!!! the same error!

gustavo@LMC:~$ lsmod |grep tun
tun 12288 0
qemu kuboIT.img -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup
SIOCSIFADDR: Não há tal dispositivo
/etc/qemu-ifup:: ERRO ao obter marcadores da interface: Não há tal dispositivo
/etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script
Could not initialize device 'tap'

i not understand, i never add a bridge manualy :-(

[bodhi.zazen]

I assume you re-booted and my guess is you need to add a tap device again.

If this is the case, add the appropriate commands to /etc/rc.local and you will make a tap at boot.

Hi, I have followed all the instructions in here to setup tap to allow access to the local network and Internet but I am unable to do so.
Could someone please look at my config and hopefully point me inthe right direction.

rc.local

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# For Network Bridging/TAP

# Set permissions of tun device
chown root.users /dev/net/tun #If you like you can make a group "qemusers" and use "root.qemusers"
chmod g+rw /dev/net/tun

#Add a bridge, add eth0
brctl addbr br0
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
brctl addif br0 eth0
dhclient br0

# Create tap1
tunctl -t tap1 -u currans #Be sure to change "<user>" to your user name

# Enable tap1
brctl addif br0 tap1
ifconfig tap1 up

exit 0

ipconfig on the windows 98 virtual machine

dhcp enabled
IP address 10.0.2.15
default gateway 10.0.2.2
dhcp server 10.0.2.2

I also don't know where to disable the Qemu dhcp server, if I need to to prevent it picking up a dhcp address

Thanks for any assistance you can offer :-)

[shogun1234]

I follow the script and save that script as setup_qemu_network.sh. The content is as follow:


sudo /sbin/brctl addbr br0
sudo /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 promisc
sudo /sbin/brctl addif br0 wlan0
sudo /sbin/dhclient br0

/bin/tunctl -t tap1 -u `whoami`

sudo /sbin/brctl addif br0 tap1
sudo /sbin/ifconfig tap1 up


Its output shows:

device br0 already exists; can't create bridge with the same name
device wlan0 is already a member of a bridge; can't enslave it to bridge br0.

Then I startup qemu with following code:

qemu -hda c.img -m 512 -net nic -net tap -localtime

but it returns

warning: could not configure /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
Could not initialize device 'tap'

How to solve this problem?

Thank you very much,



You need to configure the device.

Here is the script I use : (add these lines to /etc/rc.local)



Then, enter this command :

sudo /etc/rc.local

If you do not use dhcp, you will need to set a static ip

This is a bit of an old thread, what I do now is outlined on the KVM wiki page.

This script works as a wrapper for KVM and can easily be adapted for qemu or other bridging

See : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM#Bridged%20Networking

Scroll up to the bridging section to set up a bridge in /etc/network/interfaces

Hi there,

Well its almost 2011 and I thought I'd let you know that this thread was an absolute godsend in getting Qemu configured! I've referenced this thread very heavily in a howto I posted on my main forum at the moment and was hoping that this would be alright with you? The post in qestion is at http://readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=30963&p=277472#p277472

Nice post EP

I have a bit of information on my blog re: KVM if you wish.

Here is one:

http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/improve-kvm-performance/

most of what is in the blog under kvm also applies to qemu.

Enjoy
