Sharing one ethernet network device between two L4Linux instances

Hello Matthias,

Thank you very much for your explanation.

Following your advice, I tried to set a direct access to a network device
for the first L4Linux instance.
However, when I run "ifconfig" command in L4Linux shell I don't get any
working eth0 configuration, the result is shown below:

- L4Linux on Qemu

/ # ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I tested the "ifconfig" command an a Linux running the same Qemu
vexpress-a9 configuration and I get an eth0 configuration as shown below:

- Linux on Qemu:

/ # ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 52:54:00:12:34:56
          inet addr:192.168.50.1  Bcast:192.168.50.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
          Interrupt:47

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)


For the logs of L4Linux I can see that the IO server prints a warning
saying that "Service registration failed: 'l4lx' ".
Do you have an idea of what might be wrong.
My Lua and IO configuration files are given below after the L4Linux boot
logs.

*One possible solution would be to grant one L4Linux
instance access to the physical device and setup a virtual network
connection between the two instances. Then you can e.g. use iptables to
setup forwarding and NAT to route traffic from the second instance.*

Regarding the setting of a virtual network connection and iptables, could
you please share a document or some instructions that explain how to setup
such a working configuration.

Regarding the use of the "cons multiplexer", if I understood correctly I
should use it instead of "l4shmns" service, right?
If yes, do I have to disable the support of "l4shmns" option in L4Linux and
remove all configuration from my Lua configuration file?

Could you please share a document or some instructions that explain how to
use the "cons multiplexer".

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Mahdi
