Thanks for the input. Then, I suppose there's no way to assign the IP on boot without DHCP, there is? Can it be done without using <network> type elements? Regards, Francisco. On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 19:52, Ulrich Dangel <uli@spamt.net> wrote:

We have tried several ways to assign a static ip address to the guest os eth0 device on boot, but we didn't success. Is there any easy way to do it?
Yes. Create a network definition, specify a host element to the dhcp definition, attach the machine to the created bridge and it should work.
<network> <name>sample</name> <forward dev='eth0' mode='nat'/> <bridge name='intbr0' stp='on' forwardDelay='0' /> <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254' /> <host mac='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' ip='192.168.122.102'/> </dhcp> </ip> </network>
Snippet for the domain definition:
<interface type='bridge'> <mac address='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF'/> <source bridge='intbr0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> </interface>
When the guest OS is booted, the eth0 device exists, but is not up, and doesn't have the IP.
Is dnsmasq installed and running? Does the guest system use dhcp?
