I have a KVM Guest with an adapter that is attached to a bridge interface, which has a physical nic. The physical nic's network has DHCP in the 192.168.1.0/24 range.

My guest does not get a DHCP address, and statically assigning the IP results in no layer2 connectivity.

My guest did get a 192.168.2.0/24 network, but I think that came because of KVM. I do not want the host participating in the networking, aside from passing layer 2 between the physical adapter, and the guest(s), using the bridge.

My Setup:

[root@host ~]# brctl show
br.4094     8000.406231001c29   yes     enp0s20u8
                                        enp1s0.4094
                                        vnet0

[root@host ~]# ip link list

The snippet of my config for the VM:

<interface type='bridge'>
  <mac address='52:54:00:3f:95:26'/>
  <source bridge='br.4094'/>
  <model type='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
