How to set guest static IP - Ubuntu

satimis · #1 (**permalink**) 08-02-2008

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 8.04 server amd64 - host
Ubuntu 6.06 server amd64 - guest
KVM

I referred;
The Kernel Virtual Machine
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM

and couldn't figure out how to set guest static IP address

Host;

/etc/network/interfaces

Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback


auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual


# The primary network interface
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.110
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.1
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_fd 9
        bridge_hello 2
        bridge_maxage 12
        bridge_stp off

Guest;
/etc/network/interfaces

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopbak

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

$ ifconfig

Code:

...
inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
....

Host;

/etc/libvirt/qemn/networks/default.xml

Code:

<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid></uuid>
  <bridge name="virbr%d" />
  <forward/>
  <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>
</network>

Please shed me some light. TIA

B.R.
