Hi all,

New to KVM. Did a group install for "Virtualization Host" on CentOS 7. Created two virtual machines - one with centos and one with an evaluation copy of Windows 2012 server.

Both virtual machines correctly did updates out to their respective vendors (Centos and MS respectively), but they can't talk to each other or talk to any other system in my internal network. From what I've found so far, if I understand correctly, this is the default behaviour for KVM out of the box.

What I would like to be able to do is allow the virtual machines to appear on my internal network just like any other machine, in the same IP address space, without using dhcp for assigning addresses. The KVM machines are using 192.168.122.x, my other machines are using 192.168.1.x.

Any guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated.

You need a traditional bridge (that acts more like a network switch).

A quick google turns up these, which might help:
