[libvirt-users] How to dedicate a NIC for VM traffic without assigning it an IP
I am testing out a new server with RHEL6 running KVM. We have a few NICs on the server, one of which we would like to dedicate to network traffic to/from the virtual guests. Is it possible to do this without assigning an IP address to the NIC? We're currently doing something like this with Vmware Server, HP's HPVM for HP-UX/IA, and IBM's PowerVM for AIX. -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)

For a similar situation I've used vlan tagging, declaring the interface as follows: auto eth0.111 iface eth0.111 inet static address 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan_raw_device eth1 And so on for the other networks.
