Hello. I desire to get bridge network working using virt-manager. Centos 7 and centos 7 guest.>From researching I think I need to have a ifcfg-br0 file like this ?cat ifcfg-br0 DEVICE=nm-bridge0 STP=no TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=192.168.1.8 PREFIX=32 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 IPV6INIT=no NAME=br0 ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0 Is that for sure needed ? The use that nm-bridge0 as the network name? I dont want to mess up my current setup. Thanks, Jerry
I haven't done bridging on CentOS but, in the setups I've done, you need to associate a physical NIC such as eth0 with the bridge. ________________________________ From: CentOS <centos-bounces at centos.org> on behalf of Jerry Geis <jerry.geis at gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 2, 2020 5:38 AM To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [CentOS] Bridge network for virt-manager CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

It will end under /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/. And there probably exists already a # cat /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml <!-- WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE.

Ok so I have used virt-manager to create the name NET100
This is what shows.
<network>
<name>NET100</name>
<uuid>1ba45e54-93c2-f291-8b35-a7fe8cae9ac1</uuid>
<forward dev='eth0' mode='nat'>
<interface dev='eth0'/>
</forward>
<bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0' />
<mac address='52:54:00:9C:39:02'/>
<ip address='192.168.100.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.100.128' end='192.168.100.254'
/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
I DO get a DHCP on my network - but the client cannot connect to the host
machine. Has access to internet - but just not the host.

If you just wants a bridge with no ip address associated with it.. leave those out. Some switches need that -- Stephen J Smoogen.

Has access to internet - but just not the host.This isn't a real bridged network. This is a NATed local network. -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion at nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

I desire to get bridge network working using virt-manager.The easiest way to set up bridged networking on CentOS 7 is: ??? virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0 --no-stp This command will create a new bridge interface, br0.? The existing interface, eth0, will be added to the bridge, and its current IP configuration will be migrated to the new interface.
