Addressing

The final set of elements define the addresses (IPv4 and/or IPv6, as well as MAC) to be assigned to the bridge device associated with the virtual network, and optionally enable DHCP services. These elements are only valid for isolated networks (no forward element specified), and for those with a forward mode of 'route' or 'nat'.

        ...
        <mac address='00:16:3E:5D:C7:9E'/>
        <domain name="example.com"/>
        <dns>
          <txt name="example" value="example value" />
          <srv service='name' protocol='tcp' domain='test-domain-name' target='.' port='1024' priority='10' weight='10'/>
          <host ip='192.168.122.2'>
            <hostname>myhost</hostname>
            <hostname>myhostalias</hostname>
        </dns>
        <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
          <dhcp>
            <range start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.254" />
            <host mac="00:16:3e:77:e2:ed" name="foo.example.com" ip="192.168.122.10" />
            <host mac="00:16:3e:3e:a9:1a" name="bar.example.com" ip="192.168.122.11" />
          </dhcp>
        </ip>
        <ip family="ipv6" address="2001:db8:ca2:2::1" prefix="64" />
      </network>

mac

The address attribute defines a MAC (hardware) address formatted as 6 groups of 2-digit hexadecimal numbers, the groups separated by colons (eg, "52:54:00:1C:DA:2F"). This MAC address is assigned to the bridge device when it is created. Generally it is best to not specify a MAC address when creating a network - in this case, if a defined MAC address is needed for proper operation, libvirt will automatically generate a random MAC address and save it in the config. Allowing libvirt to generate the MAC address will assure that it is compatible with the idiosyncrasies of the platform where libvirt is running. Since 0.8.8

dns

The dns element of a network contains configuration information for the virtual network's DNS server. Since 0.9.3Currently supported elements are:

txt

A dns element can have 0 or more txt elements. Each txt element defines a DNS TXT record and has two attributes, both required: a name that can be queried via dns, and a value that will be returned when that name is queried. names cannot contain embedded spaces or commas. value is a single string that can contain multiple values separated by commas. Since 0.9.3

host

The host element within dns is the definition of DNS hosts to be passed to the DNS service. The IP address is identified by the ip attribute and the names for that IP address are identified in the hostname sub-elements of the host element. Since 0.9.3

srv

The dns element can have also 0 or more srv record elements. Each srv record element defines a DNS SRV record and has 2 mandatory and 5 optional attributes. The mandatory attributes are service name and protocol (tcp, udp) and the optional attributes are target, port, priority, weight and domain as defined in DNS server SRV RFC (RFC 2782). Since 0.9.9

ip

The address attribute defines an IPv4 address in dotted-decimal format, or an IPv6 address in standard colon-separated hexadecimal format, that will be configured on the bridge device associated with the virtual network. To the guests this address will be their default route. For IPv4 addresses, the netmask attribute defines the significant bits of the network address, again specified in dotted-decimal format. For IPv6 addresses, and as an alternate method for IPv4 addresses, you can specify the significant bits of the network address with the prefix attribute, which is an integer (for example, netmask='255.255.255.0' could also be given as prefix='24'. The family attribute is used to specify the type of address - 'ipv4' or 'ipv6'; if no family is given, 'ipv4' is assumed. A network can have more than one of each family of address defined, but only a single address can have a dhcp or tftp element. Since 0.3.0; IPv6, multiple addresses on a single network, family, and prefix since 0.8.7

tftp

Immediately within the ip element there is an optional tftp element. The presence of this element and of its attribute root enables TFTP services. The attribute specifies the path to the root directory served via TFTP. tftp is not supported for IPv6 addresses, and can only be specified on a single IPv4 address per network. Since 0.7.1

dhcp

Also within the ip element there is an optional dhcp element. The presence of this element enables DHCP services on the virtual network. It will further contain one or more range elements. The dhcp element is not supported for IPv6, and is only supported on a single IP address per network for IPv4. Since 0.3.0

range

The start and end attributes on the range element specify the boundaries of a pool of IPv4 addresses to be provided to DHCP clients. These two addresses must lie within the scope of the network defined on the parent ip element. Since 0.3.0

host

Within the dhcp element there may be zero or more host elements; these specify hosts which will be given names and predefined IP addresses by the built-in DHCP server. Any such element must specify the MAC address of the host to be assigned a given name (via the mac attribute), the IP to be assigned to that host (via the ip attribute), and the name to be given that host by the DHCP server (via the name attribute). Since 0.4.5

bootp

The optional bootp element specifies BOOTP options to be provided by the DHCP server. Two attributes are supported: file is mandatory and gives the file to be used for the boot image; server is optional and gives the address of the TFTP server from which the boot image will be fetched. server defaults to the same host that runs the DHCP server, as is the case when the tftp element is used. The BOOTP options currently have to be the same for all address ranges and statically assigned addresses.Since 0.7.1 (server since 0.7.3).

Example configuration

NAT based network

This example is the so called "default" virtual network. It is provided and enabled out-of-the-box for all libvirt installations. This is a configuration that allows guest OS to get outbound connectivity regardless of whether the host uses ethernet, wireless, dialup, or VPN networking without requiring any specific admin configuration. In the absence of host networking, it at least allows guests to talk directly to each other.

      <network>
        <name>default</name>
        <bridge name="virbr0" />
        <forward mode="nat"/>
        <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
          <dhcp>
            <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
          </dhcp>
        </ip>
        <ip family="ipv6" address="2001:db8:ca2:2::1" prefix="64" />
      </network>

Routed network config

This is a variant on the default network which routes traffic from the virtual network to the LAN without applying any NAT. It requires that the IP address range be pre-configured in the routing tables of the router on the host network. This example further specifies that guest traffic may only go out via the eth1 host network device.

      <network>
        <name>local</name>
        <bridge name="virbr1" />
        <forward mode="route" dev="eth1"/>
        <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
          <dhcp>
            <range start="192.168.122.2" end="192.168.122.254" />
          </dhcp>
        </ip>
        <ip family="ipv6" address="2001:db8:ca2:2::1" prefix="64" />
      </network>

Isolated network config

This variant provides a completely isolated private network for guests. The guests can talk to each other, and the host OS, but cannot reach any other machines on the LAN, due to the omission of the forward element in the XML description.

      <network>
        <name>private</name>
        <bridge name="virbr2" />
        <ip address="192.168.152.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
          <dhcp>
            <range start="192.168.152.2" end="192.168.152.254" />
          </dhcp>
        </ip>
        <ip family="ipv6" address="2001:db8:ca2:3::1" prefix="64" />
      </network>

Using an existing host bridge

Since 0.9.4 This shows how to use a pre-existing host bridge "br0". The guests will effectively be directly connected to the physical network (i.e. their IP addresses will all be on the subnet of the physical network, and there will be no restrictions on inbound or outbound connections).

      <network>
        <name>host-bridge</name>
        <forward mode="bridge"/>
        <bridge name="br0"/>
      </network>

Using a macvtap "direct" connection

Since 0.9.4, QEMU and KVM only, requires Linux kernel 2.6.34 or newer This shows how to use macvtap to connect to the physical network directly through one of a group of physical devices (without using a host bridge device). As with the host bridge network, the guests will effectively be directly connected to the physical network so their IP addresses will all be on the subnet of the physical network, and there will be no restrictions on inbound or outbound connections. Note that, due to a limitation in the implementation of macvtap, these connections do not allow communication directly between the host and the guests - if you require this you will either need the attached physical switch to be operating in a mirroring mode (so that all traffic coming to the switch is reflected back to the host's interface), or provide alternate means for this communication (e.g. a second interface on each guest that is connected to an isolated network). The other forward modes that use macvtap (private, vepa, and passthrough) would be used in a similar fashion.

      <network>
        <name>direct-macvtap</name>
        <forward mode="bridge">
          <interface dev="eth20"/>
          <interface dev="eth21"/>
          <interface dev="eth22"/>
          <interface dev="eth23"/>
          <interface dev="eth24"/>
        </forward>
      </network>
