ubuntu add bridge network with libvirt

Bridged networking (also known as physical device sharing) is used to dedicate a physical device to a virtual machine. Bridging is often used for more advanced setups and on servers with multiple network interfaces.

To create a bridge (br0) based on the eth0 interface, execute the following command on the host:

# virsh iface-bridge eth0 br0

Important

NetworkManager does not support bridging. NetworkManager must be disabled to use networking with the network scripts (located in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory).

# chkconfig NetworkManager off# chkconfig network on# service NetworkManager stop# service network start

If you do not want to disable NetworkManager entirely, add "NM_CONTROLLED=no" to the ifcfg-* network script being used for the bridge.

if there is error:

libvirtError: this function is not supported by the connection driver: virInterfaceDefineXML

That's because you've libvirt compiled with udev rather than netcf. The netcf is the only one backend that knows how to create a new interface.

Install netcf and rebuild libvirt and you should be able to create interfaces via libvirt.
