[libvirt] Overriding vnetN with the <target> element in xml configuration not working

Hello, I've been trying to dedicated a vnet interface to each virtual machine in order to be able to monitor their traffic, looking at http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSBridge it says that a virtual machine could have a specific vnetN specified in the xml element <target>, like <target dev='vnet7'/> . Unfortunately its not working and still it comes with vnet(current+1), here's my configuration for a qemu-kvm guest. <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='virbr0'/> <target dev='vnet7'/> <mac address='00:16:3e:6c:1f:9d'/> </interface> I'm running on F9 x86_64, libvirt-0.4.4-2.fc9.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.4.4-2.fc9.x86_64 kvm-65-7.fc9.x86_64 qemu-0.9.1-6.fc9.x86_64 I haven't yet tested this with a RHEL box to know if it is version specific issue to open a bugzilla report, any input is appreciated. /* || Thanks, Ahmed Medhat || ultimatetux [at] gmail [dot] com || +2-012-4184768 || In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates? */
