[libvirt-users] Isolated networks && test lab

[Spanky Horawitz]

I must be using a different version on Mint/Ubuntu:
Virtual Machine Manager 0.9.5

I don't have any options on 2nd screen.  I assume we are talking about
the Host "Connection Details" screen.  I'm getting to this by
right-click on remote host (QEMU) and selecting "Details".  Second tab
is "Virtual Networks" and I click the "+" button to create a new
network.  Second screen only allows me to enter the CIDR.  Next screen
enable/disable DHCP (and assign pool.)  Next screen has option to
connect to physical network or keep "Isolated virtual network".  Last
screen is a summary before creation.

Should I be using a different client to manage Host remotely?

Thanks again!

I just tried it and yes it is possible. On the 2nd screen where it asks
for IPv4 info, just uncheck the "Enable IPv4" checkbox, then on screen
4, clear out the "DNS Domain Name" at the bottom of the page. This will
give you a virtual network with a bridge created by libvirt, but no IP
address on the bridge itself, so no traffic will be able to go to/from
the host from that bridge. The only other bit you'll need to do is setup
the dhcp server on the router guest.
