The documentation on a page we were looking at (I don't have the URL right now) suggested to use the --zone=external . Could that be a potential hangup -- even though the interface itself is listed in the "public" zone?

That would absolutely be the problem. Only the zone that the interface is actually on will work.

Alex Sage

@scottalanmiller so your saying move the interface to external?

dafyre

@aaronstuder try:

firewall-cmd --get-active-zones

And see which one shows up... Also, are you able to SSH to the guest VM from your KVM host?

Alex Sage
