RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

# uname -a
Linux dhcp-65-85.nay.redhat.com 2.6.32-112.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 2 14:17:15 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.132.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.8.7-6.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1. Make sure the guest is in running
# virsh start rhel6
Domain rhel6 started

# virsh dumpxml rhel6 |grep network
    <interface type='network'>
      <source network='default'/>

2. Attach the interface
# virsh attach-interface rhel6 network default
Interface attached successfully

# virsh dumpxml rhel6 
...
    <interface type='network'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:5f:c1:6f'/>
      <source network='default'/>
      <target dev='vnet1'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x09' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
    <interface type='network'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:e5:9a:52'/>
      <source network='default'/>
      <target dev='vnet2'/>
      <alias name='net1'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
...

3. In guest, check this network interface (mac 52:54:00:e5:9a:52) can get ip and ping successfully
