| '''CREATE YOUR VIRTUAL NETWORK (OPTIONAL)'''
| |
|
| |
| # Open '''virt-manager''' by typing it into the Gnome Search Bar, or finding it under 'System' in the KDE applications menu. You may be asked for your root password.
| |
| # Go to Edit - Connection Details.
| |
| # Click on the Virtual Networks tab and then click the + sign at the lower left corner of the current window.
| |
| # For Network Name, your only limit is your imagination. Then, click Forward.
| |
| # Make sure Enable IPv4... and Enable DHCPv4 are both checked. You do not need to enable Static Route Definition.
| |
| # Network: 192.168.100.0/24 (example)
| |
| # Start: 192.168.100.128 (example)
| |
| # End: 192.168.100.254 (example)
| |
| # Click Forward twice (bypassing the IPV6 address space, unless you plan on deploying more than 4.3 billion VMs on your host).
| |
| # Select Forwarding to physical network and leave the Destination and Mode settings default.
| |
| # Click Finish.
| |
| # At this point, you should be able to use your new Virtual interface (most likely named vibr0) as the network for your VMs.
