Hi all,
how I can set dhcp options as DNS, gateway, etc in libvirt's network
definitions?
The default GW depends on the IP address you assigned to your network:
<ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'/>
This says the default GW is 192.168.122.1/24. However, you can insert
other routes too:
<route address="192.168.222.0" prefix="24"
gateway="192.168.122.2"/>
For handling DNS, you need to focus on <dns/> element. For instance, to
set a different forwarder than GW:
<dns>
<forwarder addr="8.8.8.8"/>
</dns>
It's all documented here:
https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html#elementsStaticroute
and in the subsequent section.
From what I read here[1], I can use the <option> tag. However, I can not
find nothing on libvirt official documentation.
No, that was just a proposal. RFC, a discussion how should we implement
some special features of DHCP. Those are not patches and in fact patches
implementing that were never merged.
