hi,
i like to clarify.
ip a
ens33: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
ovs-br0: inet 192.168.42.99/24
virbr0:inet 192.168.122.1/24
vnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
virsh net-list
Name State Autostart Persistent
----------------------------------------------------------
default active yes yes
ovs-network active yes yes
When systemctl start libvirtd the bridge virbr0 is created.
In the above dump the VM testvm is accessed by ovs-br0 and not by virbr0.right?
I can set up that all VMs to use ovs-br0 or part of them to use virbr0.right?
what is the advantage of using ovs-br0?
tnx

All future VMs. It might be possible to move VMs to ovs-br0, but I don't know whether it can be done, what effort is required, and whether it makes sense.

virbr0 is the default libvirt bridge. Whoever added ovs-br0 wanted a virtual network separate from libvirt's default network. Perhaps a network whose properties can be modified without modifying the default network.
