Ok Amos, looks reasonable. Would you please send a v2 with ip_nic commented out and a companion wiki documentation? It'd be the start of a KVM autotest networking documentation. In case you are not aware, the autotest wiki is now a git repo, you can clone it, edit the pages on your editor, commit and push the changes.

If you have any problems, please contact me.

Cheers,

This is an example of using static ip address:
1. edit ifcfg-eth0 of guest to assign static IP
    (192.168.100.110). You can also do this by install
    post-script/serial.
2. add and setup bridge in host
    # brctl addbr vbr
    # ifconfig vbr 192.168.100.1
3. add script for setup tap device
    /etc/qemu-ifup-vbr
    | #!/bin/sh
    | switch=vbr
    | /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 up
    | /usr/sbin/brctl addif ${switch} $1
    | /usr/sbin/brctl setfd ${switch} 0
    | /usr/sbin/brctl stp ${switch} off
4. assign parameters in config file and execute test as usual
    test.cfg:
    | ip_nic1 = 192.168.100.110
    | mac_nic1 = 11:22:33:44:55:67
    | bridge = vbr
