CentOS - Jan 2018 - virt-manager change to bridged networking on CentOS 7.4

Hi All,

I have virt-manager running just fine currently using NAT.

I want to "change" it to bridged network. The GUI is not letting me
change
anything on the network section.

How do I change it to be bridged ?

Thanks,

Jerry

Are you sure, that the virtual-machine is powered off while you are 
trying to change the network interface?

First, create the bridged network device, if you don't have one (where 
"eth0" is your network interface name):
 ??? virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0 --no-stp

You may need to restart libvirtd; I don't recall.

Power down your VM, and then you should be able to change its network 
configuration.
