How to use qemu with a network brdige The bridge should have dhcp Not nat

Assuming you're using the CentOS 5.x libvirt setup, then

1. Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0

DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes DELAY=0

2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ONBOOT=yes

3. Edit /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml

<network> <name>default</name> <uuid>...long uuid...</uuid> <bridge name="br0" /> <forward mode="route" dev="eth0"/> </network>

Restart networking on the host server, then create (or modify) your qemu VM.
