Question regarding packet sniffing from a guest KVM

[Jacob Prida]

Hello,

I saw your blog post (http://blog.vmsplice.net/2011/04/how-to-capture-vm-network-traffic-using.html) on packet sniffing, and was wondering if I could get your advice on a problem I'm having.

I posted this question to stackexchange as well (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/606722/can-i-sniff-packets-on-a-host-interface-macvtap-through-a-guest-os-on-qemu-kvm) but here is my problem:

I want to packet sniff a physical NIC from a guest VM. The guest VM is windows 10 with Wireshark/npcap. I want to setup the virtual network interface to enable this packet sniffing. The host OS is RHEL 7. Currently, I have the VM connected to a macvtap interface for the physical device I want to sniff, but I am not seeing any data on Wireshark.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jacob
