I have read the link http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox about [tap interface networking]. I follow the instruction like this:
then I start VirtualBox window, in mathine network setup, when I select "Bridged Adapter", in name box 3 nic names, nfe0, tap0 and bridge0 appears. I don't know which one I should select to realize the bridged NIC functionality.
I try to select each one of them one by one, but all failed, no matter which one of them i selected, the virtual mathine started failed with the massage "Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-tap0(nfe0, bridge0)'(VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND)." and "Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND)."
It seams this feature are implemented, how to config the bridge NIC?
Thinks.
Code:
% VBoxManage modifyvm WinXP --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 tap0
% su -
# kldload if_tap if_bridge
# sysctl net.link.tap.user_open=1
# chown root:vboxusers /dev/tap0
# chmod 660 /dev/tap0
# ifconfig bridge0 create
# ifconfig bridge0 addm nfe0
# ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0
%ifconfig -a
