libvirt users - Jan 2010 - domain -> IP

How can I map from a domain to the IP(s) given to its network interfaces?

I'm not specifying a <mac .../> to the domain, so I don't have an
upfront mapping setup.

Is the best way to do some upfront mapping, e.g. install static MAC -> IP in
the DHCP server and add <mac .../> to my domains?

Best,


matt

Yes, you want to setup static MAC <-> IP mapping, then give a specific
MAC to the guest at install time - virt-install and virt-manager both
have options for setting an explicit MAC instead of auto-generating
