Re: [libvirt-users] How to configure the container's NIC automatically with an assigned IP address

Dear Gene, Thank you for your response. I want to assign a static IP address to my container, I wonder if I can achieve this by editing the container's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. I tried this, but failed, and eth0 is always not assigned an IP address automatically (my host and guest are fedora19). Am I missing something? I don't know much about the booting procedure of a container, and how the network NIC is configured during the booting. The content of container's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is as follows: BOOTPROTO="static" DEVICE="eth0" TYPE="Ethernet" ONBOOT="yes" IPADDR=192.168.128.15 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.128.254 With my warmest regards, Cheng Take a look at: http://sandbox.libvirt.org/networking/ Note: Specifying dhcp does not currently work. I have created a patch to fix that. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1133686
