Thank you for the reply.<br><br>It sounds like OpenVZ does not allow bridges inside containers. Ok. But a container can still use TAP/TUN devices with out a bridge? <br><br>Im confused on how to use a TAP with out a bridge.<br>

Hello, I have a leased openvz vps that I want to run a few light qemu guests<br>
inside. I have two venet devices and want to bridge venet0:1 with a tap<br>
device for a qemu guest. The provider has enabled tap/tun but I am having<br>
troubles with virtual networking.<br>
<br>
I went to edit /etc/networking/interfaces and notices the warning that the<br>
file was auto-generated and would be again on reboot (this of course makes<br>
sense given the host controls networking), but the provider said to go ahead<br>
and make my changes in the file.<br>
<br>
This didnt work. Next I copied the settings from interfaces to a new file,<br>
interfaces.template, but with some comments to see if my comments were<br>
included in the auto generated interfaces file... now networking is broken.<br>
<br>
Enough experimenting. Dozens of support emails with the provider isnt<br>
getting anywhere. What options does a container owner have?<br>
<br>

venet is a special network device that is designed to be managed from<br>
the HN but not from inside the CT. In case you want to be able to tune<br>
network interface from inside the CT, veth is a right choice. Unfortunately,<br>
in your case it's impossible to realize what you want to do because it's<br>
prohibited to create bridges inside the CTs.<br>
