Each host must have a separate subnet for VMs. So if you have 3 hosts, you'd want to repeat your libvirt network configure using something like these in the XML Host A (10.2.0.20): 144.68.100.0/255.255.255.0 Host B (10.2.0.25): 144.68.101.0/255.255.255.0 Host C (10.2.0.30): 144.68.102.0/255.255.255.0 And then on your LAN gateway setup a route for each host's subnet # route add -net 144.68.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.2.0.20 # route add -net 144.68.101.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.2.0.25 # route add -net 144.68.102.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.2.0.30 > Is there any provision to specify the gateway machine for (virbr1) > while creating the routed networking with libvirt? Not with the current design. We require the main LAN gateway to have static routes added. In the future we might provide an impl based on Proxy-ARP or IP-subnetting which would simplify this. > Here the thing is I want to reach VMs running on different host > machines having same subnet and same default gateway from another > machine which is running on the LAN. ie VM1 running at Host1 and VM2 > running at Host2 should be accessed from Host3 which is in LAN.

Once the LAN gateway has static routes for each subnet, any host on your LAN should be able to access any VM on any of your hosts, and vica-verca.
