[libvirt-users] domain -> IP

How can I map from a domain to the IP(s) given to its network interfaces? I'm not specifying a <mac .../> to the domain, so I don't have an upfront mapping setup. Is the best way to do some upfront mapping, e.g. install static MAC -> IP in the DHCP server and add <mac .../> to my domains? Best, matt

Yes, you want to setup static MAC <-> IP mapping, then give a specific MAC to the guest at install time - virt-install and virt-manager both have options for setting an explicit MAC instead of auto-generating Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|
