USB Passthrough to VM
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2018 7:29 pm
It would be extremely helpful, esp. for dot1x, for VM to have the ability to be mapped to a USB Device. While this might be possible with the qemu advanced commands, it would be helpful to have a GUI/dropdown to perform the mapping.
Here's a link to how to do it via the CLI: https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/USB_Host ... d_to_Guest
The big use case would be, having a Windows (or other OS) VM being able to directly connect to the USB Device, specifically like a USB NIC, that then can plug into a real network switch that can detect layer 1 / 2 changes which dot1x uses to kick off processes.
