My task is to enable a (remote) server to run VMs via qemu/KVM. |

The server is configured to set up its eth0 via openrc but this isn't |
| 4 |
enough to run the VMs network. |

I tried macvtap but something didn't work, either libvirt (yes, with |
| 7 |
USE-flag "macvtap") or something else (the kernel supports mavtap). |

So bridging. |

|
| 11 |
I'd like to keep the risk of losing connectivity as low as possible ... |
| 12 |
I can visit the place in a few weeks to iron out things but I would like |
| 13 |
to set up a bridge now without failure, just to get that VM running asap. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Could anyone advise me in doing this? |

I have only ssh-access now ... its openrc-driven, and I might use a |
| 18 |
second IPv4-IP if that helps ... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
anyone? |

(editing the conf.d-files to remove eth0 and setup br0 is too scary |
| 23 |
right now. One mistake and the box is offline) |
