Hello,
I am trying to boot a VM in libvirt that has 2 interfaces. The first interface is connected to the default network and the second connects to a bridge interface on the host. When the VM boots the first interface doesn't receive an IP address from DHCP. It works when the VM only has one interface though.
If I login to the VM using virsh console I noticed that in NetworkManager the connection name and device are mixed
[root@localhost ~]# nmcli con show
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
eth0 cc31f368-0a43-4c85-bd15-6aaa3ca23b3d ethernet eth1
If I run 'dhclient eth0' the interface gets an IP address from the default network as expected.
[root@localhost ~]# dhclient eth0
[root@localhost ~]# ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe48:e3b8/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
The VM is created using the following command
virt-install --import --name ${VM_HOST_NAME} \
--memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --cpu host \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/${VM_HOST_NAME}.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio \
--network network=default \
--network bridge=bridge0,model=virtio \
--os-type=linux \
--os-variant=rhel7.6 \
--graphics none
Any ideas what could cause this problem? The guest OS is CentOS 7.7 and the host is CentOS 8, but I have the same problem with a CentOS 7 hypervisor.
