There is info on the website here: http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html NB, the libvirt <network> format is only relevant for creating bridges that forward traffic, optionally with NAT. It does *not* create bridges with a physical device attached. For info on the latter use your distro network setup process, eg http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking Regards, Dan. -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, Boston -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
