[libvirt-users] Automatically assign static ipv4 via dhcp to new VMs (Tim)

[Chandana De Silva]

You can do this with the built in dhcp server for the virtual network. 
The definition is passed to dnsmasq.

  ...
  <ip address="192.168.122.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
   <dhcp>
    <range start="192.168.122.100" end="192.168.122.254" />
    <host mac="00:16:3e:e2:ed" name="foo.example.com" ip="192.168.122.10" />
   </dhcp>
  </ip>
  ...
