(Note: To setup NAT networking, see: https://wiki.debian.org/KVM)
Bridge the network on Debian:
apt install bridge-utils
Create the bridge:
# brctl addbr br0
We are only going to create a bridge on eno1 for VMs to use:
Caution: this must be done through the iKVM remote console, as the network breaks!
brctl addif br0 eno1
Make changes permanent:
root@vespa ~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eno1
iface eno1 inet static
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
hwaddress 0C:C4:7A:7C:CE:26
address 1x7.1x9.2x7.10
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway 1x7.1x9.2x7.9
bridge_ports eno1
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 0
iface br0 inet6 static
address 2c0x:xxxx:xx00:801::10
netmask 64
gateway 2c0x:xxxx:xx00:801::1
# Hetzner 1GB VLAN internal network
auto eno2
iface eno2 inet static
address 192.168.100.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
To move the client VMs from NAT 'network' to Bridged:
virsh edit 'vm-name'
Change <interface type='network'>, and source line:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:ca:d6:a8'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
When everything is working, disable the virsh network called 'default':
virsh net-autostart --disable default

Install resolvconf to handle DNS entries
(As dnsmasq will no longer be servicing the VM 'network')
apt install resolvconf
nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
... and add, e.g.:
nameserver 196.22.142.222
nameserver 41.203.18.183
nameserver 197.221.12.82
Update /etc/resolv.conf:resolvconf -u
