Totally new to KVM here, so maybe there is nothing wrong with my set up, but I am running 10 guest VMs on my Ubuntu 12.04 server via KVM and I just noticed that ifconfig
returned a plethora of interfaces.
It looks like there is one of these for each guest:
vnet5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr fe:54:00:51:e8:66
inet6 addr: fe80::fc54:ff:fe51:e866/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1707 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2506 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
RX bytes:1850605 (1.8 MB) TX bytes:375034 (375.0 KB)
Does this seem right? It strikes me that I have something misconfigured somewhere.
What are these anyway?
