I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there’s no connection to the internet at all, e.g. pinging something gives “Destination network unreachable”. This only happens when both network connection on the host are active. Running qemu/libvirt on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
The nat network in question:
<network>
<name>natToWlan</name>
<uuid>a44c939c-e6bf-44d0-8f86-376056d418a4</uuid>
<forward dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1" mode="nat">
<nat>
<port start="1024" end="65535"/>
</nat>
<interface dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1"/>
</forward>
<bridge name="virbr1" stp="on" delay="0"/>
<mac address="52:54:00:1f:64:95"/>
<ip address="192.168.100.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
<dhcp>
<range start="192.168.100.128" end="192.168.100.254"/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
Your routing table on the host changes when you have both networks active because the OS is preferring the NIC I’m guessing. You’re using a static config for only one interface here.
Either switch to a static setup for NIC and Wlan, or create two interfaces for the VM that cover both host interfaces. A simpler setup would be host networking (macvtap) vs a bridged nat with only one path.
This sounds reasonable. Curiously now that I tried again with both host lan & wlan active there was no problem. I have a hunch the routing depends on which interface networkmanger starts first.
