If you open Virtual Machine Manager, connect to localhost and then double-click on 'localhost', you will see a tab for creating/managing bridges (NAT'ed, generally). I disable 'virbr0' as NAT'ing is generally not what I want. The 'vnetX' devices are dynamically created to link a VM's interface to a bridge. Think of them as virtual network cables. They get created and destroyed as needed. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
