[Qemu-discuss] How do I configure qemu-kvm to use tap0?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

How do I get my qaemu-kvm virtual machines to use my OpenVPN's
tap0, instead of br0?

br0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.255.10  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 
192.168.255.255
        inet6 fe80::5437:93ff:feaa:c159  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether fe:54:00:30:6e:23  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

tap0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.210.50  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 
192.168.210.255
        inet6 fe80::7c9b:33ff:fedd:feea  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 7e:9b:33:dd:fe:ea  txqueuelen 100  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 2171  bytes 211552 (206.5 KiB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 124  bytes 63283 (61.7 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

With br0, I can arp-scan 192.168.210.50, but nothing past it. From the 
host machine, I can
   # arp-scan --interface=tap0 192.168.210.0/24
I get back two more IP at the other end.

And I am noticing the "route -n" does not show tap0 as a gateway

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks, -T
