[libvirt-users] Network without forward mode

Hey! Another question. The documentation about networks say: ╭─────┤ http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementsConnect ├───── │Inclusion of the forward element indicates that the virtual network is │to be connected to the physical LAN.Since 0.3.0. The mode attribute │determines the method of forwarding. If there is no forward element, the │network will be isolated from any other network (unless a guest │connected to that network is acting as a router, of course). ╰───── That's exactly what I want: just a vnet interface, no bridge, no routing, no forwarding. However, if I create a network with just that: #v+ <network> <name>public</name> <uuid>4629ba54-9e33-4a1f-9e45-78a1c8faaddc</uuid> </network> #v- libvirt (2.0.0) adds a bridge stanza: #v+ <network> <name>public</name> <uuid>4629ba54-9e33-4a1f-9e45-78a1c8faaddc</uuid> <bridge name='virbr1' stp='on' delay='0'/> <mac address='52:54:00:15:45:da'/> </network> #v- The bridge is created. If I spawn a VM attached to this network, it gets added to the bridge. Any way to have a network where absolutely no setup is done?
