Re: [libvirt-users] Assigning static ip address in libvirt

Hello
Is there way to assign static ip address to lxc and KVM guests with
libvirt?
I saw some snippets here
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#ipconfig but unable to get it to
work.
That method only works for lxc (only the IP address of the *host* side
of the tap device can be configured for qemu guests), and only if your
libvirt is at least version 1.2.12.
Another method is to add a static host entry to the dhcp configuration
for the network used to connect the guest. If the guest interface is
connected to a libvirt virtual network, you can just do what is
described here:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#virsh_net-update
Otherwise, if the guest is connected via a bridge (or macvtap) directly
to an external network, you'll need to configure the dhcp server for
that network (which is outside the scope of libvirt)
