3. Bridge to to LAN
Provides a bridge from the VM directly onto the LAN. This assumes there is a bridge device on the host which has one or more of the hosts physical NICs enslaved. The guest VM will have an associated tun device created with a name of vnetN, which can also be overriden with the <target> element. The tun device will be enslaved to the bridge. The IP range / network configuration is whatever is used on the LAN. This provides the guest VM full incoming & outgoing net access just like a physical machine. Examples include
<interface type='bridge'> <source dev='br0'/> </interface>
This was actually wrong & violating the schema - it should instead be <source bridge='br0'/>
<interface type='bridge'> <source dev='br0'/> <target dev='vnet7'/> <mac address="11:22:33:44:55:66:/> </interface>
Likewise s/source dev=/source bridge=/ The impl in the qemud/conf.c was also wrong - the attached patch will fix it to be compliant with the schema & Xen impl which is what tools like virt-manager/virt-install were expecting.
