Assuming you mean virtualization like bhyve and not virtualization like jails, ad that you can use private addresses for the VMs, you can still run each virtual machine inside a VNET jail, then using something like epair you can connect the jails to a central 'router' jail that runs ipfw and enforces what each jail sends out. If you want actual routable addresses on each jail (so that the jail sees the outside workd directly it's a bit more difficult because you can't act as a 'router' in the middle. Maybe others have more ideas. If you need to bridge a bunch of virtual machines so that they have addressable interfaces. you can run bhyve or VB inside a vnet jail as above but each jail would need to do its own enforcing by having its own ipfw, listenning on the virtual interface that is attaching to the bridge. I have not done htis but I'm sure it can be done. you'll need to experiment. just remember that each VNET jail can have it's own firewall and it's own interfaces. real or virtual. > > I really appreciate any help or ideas. > > -- > Miroslav Lachman > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
