Adding a distant KVM host

[Seif Eddine Jemli <se...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to add a distant *KVM* host. I created a *VPN* for this
purpose.
I have a management server and a distant host now connected via a VPN (it
is a point to point VPN). so KVM host has the ip address 10.0.0.1 on the
ppp0 interface (specific to the VPN) and the MS has the address 10.0.0.100
on his ppp0 interface too. (point to point VPN).

I didn't know how to configure the /etc/network/interfaces on the KVM host.
I couldn't try much because any error can make the server inaccessible.
The problem is that I am not sure if I can put the ppp0 in the
/etc/network/interfaces, because it is not a physical interface.
How can I configure the network?

thanks

I don't really have any input on this. It should work in general, I just
don't know about the ppp device setup specifics. I've only ever tried over
VPN where the endpoints weren't on the KVM or mgmt server. I'd  just treat
the ppp device like the mgmt IP/interface of the KVM host, but I don't know
about where his bridges are running, etc.
