Clean install of centos 7 and I have most things working, however the default virbr0 interface is not getting any addressing. The interface in network manager just spins and spins and never gets an address. I thought at first it was something about firewalld which I am trying to come up to speed with but I do not believe that is the issues.

I guess the questions that I have is what is the correct way to add KVM and all of the virt packages to a minimal centos 7 installation. I would like to understand bridged interfaces vs the nat interfaces what what needs to be installed/configured.

Thanks in advance.

I think I have found the information, in the RHEL documentation - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm...

but I have to chuckle that it appears they have not fully updated the information beacause of this blurb:

To create a bridge (br0) based on the eth0 interface, execute the following command on the host:

# virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0

what the heck is an eth0 interface, they already took that away too ;)
