Changes

By default, the KVM virtualization environment on Ubuntu only creates a virtual network to which virtual machines may connect. The goal of this chapter is to cover the steps involved in creating a network bridge on Ubuntu enabling guest systems to share one or more of the host system’s physical network connections.

Using the ifconfig command once again, the new bridge interface should now be visible:

<pre>

br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:72:0b:14:57

When this option is selected for a virtual machine it will have access to the external network using the same physical network device used by the host, but now using its own IP address.
