If I'm not mistaken, this is automatically assigned. However, you
could define this in the domain XML using the target tag within the
interface container, e.g. using the libvirt example

<interface type='network'>
      <source network='default'/>
      <target dev='vnet7'/>
      <mac address="00:11:22:33:44:55"/>
    </interface>
