Public bug reported:
I am trying to configure bridged network (switch from default NAT to
bridged conction) for one of VMs created by gnome-boxes app.
Here is my steps:
1. $ virsh -c qemu:///session edit ubuntu18.04 and change
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='52:54:00:41:f7:ed'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
to
<interface type='network'>
<mac address='52:54:00:41:f7:ed'/>
<source network='virbr1'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
2. $ virsh -c qemu:///session start ubuntu18.04
Domain ubuntu18.04 started
3. $ virsh -c qemu:///session domiflist ubuntu18.04
Interface Type Source Model MAC
-------------------------------------------------------
tap0 bridge virbr1 virtio 52:54:00:41:f7:ed
So, ubuntu18.04 VM gets external IP address and can be accessed from other PCs
in the network. My problem is that configuration resets back to "user" or NAT
network (with new mac address) each time gnome-boxes application started. In
rare cases my "bridged network" configuration can survive gnome-boxes startup
but will be reset back to defaults after VM shutdown.
Same behavior when using virt-manager to configure networking.
