Here (http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html) you will find the following xml sample, which works: ... <devices> <interface type='direct'> <source dev='eth0' mode='vepa'/> </interface> </devices> ... This will connect your VM directly to the same network as eth0. Please be aware that, depending on your switch configuration (supports hair pin mode or not), your host might not be able to talk to your VM and vice versa. -- Best regards, Gerhard Stenzel, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martin Jetter Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294
