Assign individual NIC to KVM guest
- by Bin S
I have a server with 6 NICs installed and is running Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I want to setup 4 guest VMs using kvm. Now I want to assign 2 NICs for the host(1 Public IP and 1 private IP), and 1 NIC each to 4 guest VM(all private IP). How do I do this?
/etc/network/interfaces
I am having trouble with my configuration file shown below:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
