Hello,

I am facing problems in creating a network bridge using libvirt. My requirement is, i need to create a bridge on the host machine. The bridge shd get ip address from dhcp server(instead of static). I am not getting what exactly the xml format that virsh is looking for?

I am using the following xml for creating a bridge. <network> <name>local</name> <bridge name="virbr1" /> <source dev="eth1"/> <mac address="00:11:22:33:44:55"/> </network>

The bridge is getting created but not with the specified device and mac address. Bridge is not getting ip address at all. Can you please tell me the xml format for my requirement?

There is info on the website here: http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html NB, the libvirt <network> format is only relevant for creating bridges that forward traffic, optionally with NAT. It does *not* create bridges with a physical device attached. For info on the latter use your distro network setup process, eg http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking Regards, Dan. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, Boston -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
