Add Support for Bridged Interface for KVM Guests? #926

Open abel408 opened 6 years ago

abel408 commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any plans to add support to configure KVM guests created with Mist.io to use a bridges interface instead of a source network. The following documentation shows how to create a bridge from a public connection, but not from a private LAN: http://docs.mist.io/article/99-managing-kvm-with-mist-io

I think it is very common for people to create bridged interfaces for the KVM guests that share the same physical interface as the host. This can be done by changing and with the configuration and with virsh edit of existing guests OR using "virt-install --network bridge=br0" when creating a VM with virt-install. Is there a way I can pass that arguement through when creating a guest with mist.io?

Thanks

Hi @abel408, we'll roll out support for KVM bridged interfaces in the coming weeks. Please stay tuned

v3.1.0 includes enhancements regarding KVM networking. Please try it out and let us know if it covers your needs.

Great! Thanks!

Looks like I'm able to assign an interface (br0) to my guests now, but how can I connect to the guest to configure it a manually IP? If I were to create the guest with virt-install, I usually use VNC to the guest and install and configure the OS.
