which GUI? virt-manager? Maybe a screenshot would help explain why you mean by "does not work"? Yes, the virt-manager, you cannot leave the fields empty. Filling the IPv4 fields is mandatory. Perhaps it would be good to add a switch box "enable IPv4 DCHP" on this interface and if enabled, then IPv4 fields have to be filled, otherwise not. Okay, thanks - moving upstream since it's not a very common case See also bug #501912 Current upstream provides an option to disable DHCP when creating a new virtual network. Closing as UPSTREAM. |
Description of problem: Setup of a new switch in GUI requires IPv4 address, but this should be optional because since new version, such interface is also working without IPv4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.6.2-11.fc11.i586 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup new switch without IPv4 address Actual results: Does not work Expected results: Work Note also that GUI does not reflect the real settings of current configured switches. While config is # more /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/IPv6internal.xml <network> <name>IPv6internal</name> <uuid>c6a01b49-73b2-61f0-5356-059ae90f5c5b</uuid> <bridge stp='on' forwardDelay='0' /> <!-- <ip address='192.168.100.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.100.128' end='192.168.100.254' /> </dhcp> </ip> --> </network> (note, IPv4 settings commented out), the GUI still shows this entries, looks like such information is stored a 2nd time on the box.
