Network Setup

1) Simple KVM with no VLAN and FV support:

For a simple KVM setup, it suffices that a linux bridge (e.g. extbr0) is defined on the host. In this case, no Open vSwitch (OVS) installation/configuration is required.

2) KVM with VLAN and/or FV support:

The diagram below shows the network configuration required for supporting PV/AV monitoring over VLAN on eth0 and FV on eth1. A unique vnet# interface is automatically assigned to each VM's interface every time a domain reboots.
