I'm trying to set up a couple of VM's with KVM/Qemu. They are supposed to be on the same network as the host. I have tried out a couple of guides found on the internet but to no avail.
Will someone please tell me how to do it?
Best regards

I have a couple of possible helpful answers, here and here. – Doug Smythies Oct 30 '22 at 18:14

Both of them are unsuitable for my setup. It's a DHCP situation. No staic IP's. – mccleod48 Oct 30 '22 at 19:03

O.K. the one I pointed you to for this same question over on Ubuntu forums was for dhcp – Doug Smythies Oct 30 '22 at 19:54

For those coming from the internet to find the right answer. I followed this beautiful article here Creating an ubuntu kvm networked bridge interface. It worked for me in Ubuntu 22.04 – Chupacabra Mar 13 '24 at 05:08

I have done this setup, and it worked before I restarted the host machine. So technically it's correct. Please try this and see if it works for you.
Essentially it boils down to this:
- Create a bridge using nm-connection-editor.
- Join the network interface on the host to the bridge.
- Remove the existing libvirt network and create a new one using this bridge as basis
- Select "Virtual network: bridged network" in the Virtual Machine Manager guest config or use the quivalent cli commands.
The bridge becomes invisible to the guest and host.
