I have a KVM Guest with an adapter that is attached to a bridge interface, which has a physical nic. The physical nic's network has DHCP in the 192.168.1.0/24 range.
My guest does not get a DHCP address, and statically assigning the IP results in no layer2 connectivity.
My guest did get a 192.168.2.0/24 network, but I think that came because of KVM. I do not want the host participating in the networking, aside from passing layer 2 between the physical adapter, and the guest(s), using the bridge.
My Setup:
[root@host ~]# brctl show
