Hi all, this is the first time I tried to use bhyve. This is 12.0-RELEASEp3 and vm-bhyve 1.2.3. My hosting provider hetzner.de is giving out subnets which are routed through the main ip of the server, so if my main IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.63 the subnet yyy.yyy.yyy.224/28 is routed as if it was "behind" the main ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. I first didn't know that and tried the solution mentioned in the vm-bhyve wiki, usiing a bridge and adding the network card (em0) to it, which didn't work. Since I never used byhve I wasn't to sure where the error was, but after asking Hetzners support and getting info about their setup I guessed it was the bridge. So I just removed the interface from the bridge and added the subnet to it. This seems to work, even without adding a static route, netstat -r gives yyy.yyy.yyy.224/28 link#3 U vm-public after a reboot (vm-public is the name of the bridge), and now the bhyve VMs have network connection. I'm still a bit puzzled if using a "bridge" this way is a good configuration. And why do I not need a gateway address? Yeah, my IP knowledge is a bit thin ;) Thanks for any comments, Mathias -- Mathias Picker Geschäftsführer Mathias.Picker@virtual-earth.de virtual earth Gesellschaft für Wissens re/prä sentation mbH http://www.virtual-earth.de/ HRB126870 support@virtual-earth.de Westendstr. 142 089 / 1250 3943home | help
