Hi,

Could anyone help I'm getting the following error when I tried to add a new network interface.

DETAILS

Connection

---------------------------

import libvirt

conn = libvirt.open('qemu:///system')

Interface XML

----------------------

<interface type="bridge" name="br0">
  <start mode="onboot"/>
  <mtu size="1500"/>
  <protocol family="ipv4">
    <dhcp/>
  </protocol>
  <bridge stp="off" delay="0.01">
    <interface type="ethernet" name="eth0">
      <mac address="ab:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"/>
    </interface>
    <interface type="ethernet" name="eth1"/>
  </bridge>
</interface>

In [96]:

conn.interfaceDefineXML(interfacexml,0)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
libvirtError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

   2754         return __tmp
