Linux bridge for KVM virtualisation and NIC teaming on interface (CentOS 7)?
Hey,
I am wondering if anyone has experience on using physical interface teaming (as active failover) and then creating a KVM bridge (ie. br0) for the bond0 interface?
I've only read there was an ARP problem on CentOS 5, but I am not sure if that is on CentOS 7 to?

Thanks!

NIC teaming is obviously a new driver in CentOS 7 variant, but I am unsure if it will wok with a bridge for KVM virt.?

Dunno about active failover, but I'm using a bridge for KVM on top of a load balancing bond device (regular bonding driver, not teaming), it works without issues.
Thanks.
I am currently testing this, and the bridge on top of NIC teaming seems to be working fine..
