Hey all.
I'm exploring virt-manager, libvirt etc. I downloaded Debian 12 KDE ISO and when launched using virt-manager, it does not seem to connect to network.
nmcli says it has failed to get an IP address.However, if I run the same ISO inside GNOME Boxes, then it is able to connect to network.
I checked the XML configuration of both and found this:
```xml
<interface type="user">
<mac address="52:54:00:ea:f9:69"/>
<model type="virtio"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</interface>```
However, the one created via virt-manager has this:
```xml
<interface type="network">
<mac address="52:54:00:5d:c7:9e"/>
<source network="default"/>
<model type="virtio"/>
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</interface>
```
What I'm not able to understand is, why does the
user mode networking work fine but not network mode?My ultimate goal is to set up
routed configuration, so one can directly SSH into the guests.Packages:
- virt-manager - 4.1.0 (Debian)
- libvirt0 - 10.3.0-3 (Debian)
- GNOME Boxes - 46.0 (Flatpak)
Please let me know if you need any other information. It is a pretty much clean installation with no extra configuration, so I don't think I messed up anything.
Thank you!
