I think I have found the information, in the RHEL documentation - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Virtualization_Deployment_and_Administration_Guide/index.html#sect-Network_configuration-Bridged_networking_with_libvirt 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 ;)
