Hi Sankar, on my side, if the vm has to be accessible directly I mostly use a
host bridge configuration
so the guest is directly connected to the same network. From there I use static
ip address.
Normally yast vm-install tools propose to create a bridge configuration but
then you will have to forget using networkmanager.
If you already have a bridge then you can edit the vm to pick up the host
bridge.
The qmenu xml definition in a host will look like
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:55:00:45'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
hope this help
