Hi,
I've set up 4 VMs, each running as a (Arista) switch (for network training), and have connected various ports on the VMs to each other via bridges. This is working fine for most things, but LLDP does not seem to be getting from one VM to the next - I'm guessing the bridge is not propagating it. Can I enable this somehow - these are point to point connections between my VMs, so I don't really need or want a bridge in the middle, I want the VMs to think that they are directly connected to each other. I've been through the documentation, and can't see any obvious change to the bridge settings that would help, but I did notice someone describing another type of qemu networking: -net listen,port=... and -net,connect.... I can't see any way to set this up under ProxMox, and 'qm' doesn't appear to support this either (I'm on version 2.3 currently).
Any advice about how to fix this greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
