I had so much trouble putting Centos 6 guest VMs on a Centos 5 host that I finally switched to a Centos 6 host.
I've not needed more that test VMs, so I've used Virtual Machine Manager on the old system, which worked pretty well, so I decided to create my first KVM guest machine. I noticed when I created it, I only had the options of NAT for my network interface, so I used that (obvious).
Well, after starting the VM, I find I don't have connectivity with that interface. Reading, I find examples where I need to create bridges perhaps. Xen did most of this for me, so it's a little new to me.
Can anyone throw me a clue, please?

Setting up a bridge is not that hard, and it will give your VMs direct access to the outside world, and host <-> VM access just fine as well.
Here is a link showing how to setup a bridge connected to a bond device. Ignore the bond and pretend it is a straight ethX device:

The host has a device named virbr0 that is installed during system installation. It also has a network device vnet0. There are no files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts for these.
Shouldn't I be able to use the virbr0 virtual bridge for this? I've tried setting up the VM's device with all of the options that is listed, but to no avail.
Should I need to set up another bridge for this?
And thanks for the link.
