Hi list,
long(ish) time libvirt users, first time poster.
Question: Is the default network (192.168.122.0/24, NAT) created by
libvirt needed at all when guests are connected to the host's bridge
device (and not the default network)
I.e. when I have
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
in my guest definition is the default network ever even used? Or can I
safely remove it?
This may be a naive or stupid question but I have not found a definitive
answer studying the documentation. Can anybody enlighten me?
Thanks,
Andreas
Hello Andreas. It's not a naive question at all, but it has a simple
answer: Yes, you can safely remove it if you haven't attached any VMs
to it. We set it up strictly as a convenience, mostly for developers
who are trying to use virt on a laptop with a wifi connection that is
up and down a lot.
Take care,
