[Qemu-discuss] connect virtual machines to each other

[Pascal]

hi,

I have two Linux VM that communicate without any problem when I use VDE but
their communication stops when I try to connect them with a multicast bus :
does anyone have an idea ?

vde_switch
qemu -nic vde,mac=52:54:00:11:11:11 vm1.disk
qemu -nic vde,mac=52:54:00:22:22:22 vm2.disk

and all is ok (ping && cetera) :-)

qemu -nic socket,mac=52:54:00:11:11:11,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234 vm1.disk
qemu -nic socket,mac=52:54:00:22:22:22,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234 vm2.disk

and all is ko :-(

regards, lacsaP.
