[libvirt-users] Adding a public static IP address to the guest

[Sudheer Satyanarayana]

Hello,

The host runs on CentOS 6. I have installed a guest, CentOS 5.7, using 
libvirt.

I am having difficulty understanding how to assign a public static IP 
address to the guest. From what I understand by reading the Wiki, I 
think I require routed mode.

The ISP has provided a 'portable' IP routed to the VLAN of our servers. 
I want to assign this IP address to the guest.  From the virtual machine 
hardware details window, I see that "Virtual network 'default' : NAT" is 
selected for the source device field.

Can someone offer a helping hand and instruct and educate me on how to 
proceed from here?

Thanks.
