Simple setup, 2 UCS blades with both ubuntu 14. One is running iosxrv 6.1.2 on qemu using the xml file that comes with it when you download it. I have 6 vnics per blade and created 6 bridges for the 3 Mgmt and 3 Data interfaces in the xml.
in ios, i get the following:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#show interfaces brief
Wed May 10 14:31:25.727 UTC
Intf Intf LineP Encap MTU BW
Name State State Type (byte) (Kbps)

Nu0 up up Null 1500 0
Gi0/0/0/0 up up ARPA 1514 1000000
Gi0/0/0/1 up up ARPA 1514 1000000
Gi0/0/0/2 up up ARPA 1514 1000000
Mg0/RP0/CPU0/0 up up ARPA 1514 1000000
I've properly configured each of those with an ip, I can ping the bridge ip, but I cannot ping the other blade from within IOS. (I can ping it from ubuntu running the kvm though so so its not external network). Its not the ip/vlan as If I setup Mgt interface with any of the ip used for Gi, it works!!
I even created a cirros vm in that same blade with all those same ip/bridge and i can go in/out to blade #2 without any problem.
my ios config is quite simple.
