KVM configuration of the bridge card

Configure the bridge card

Add a bridge card br0, comment out the existing configuration eth0

[root@ubuntu01 ~]# vi /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        address 192.168.31.10
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.31.255
        gateway 192.168.31.2
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_fd 9
        bridge_hello 2
        bridge_maxage 12
        bridge_stp off

After the restart the network, you can see the configuration of the bridge card:

[root@ubuntu01 ~]# brctl show

Create a virtual machine

virt-install the --network option specifies the bridge:

[root@ubuntu01 ~]# virt-install \
    --name=centos_vm_01 \
    --virt-type=kvm \
    --ram=1024 \
    --cdrom=/data/iso/CentOS-V6.5.23.iso \
    --disk path=/data/img/disk01.raw \
    --network bridge=br0 \
    --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 \
    --noautoconsole
