Howto KVM
check cpu virtualization support
verify if you have svm or vmx support:
grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo
verify that the kvm kernel modules are loaded:
lsmod | grep kvm
load kernel module for intel:
modprobe kvm-intel
load kernel module for amd:
modprobe kvm-amd
create bridge interface
create the bridge interface:
nmcli connection add type bridge autoconnect yes con-name br0 ifname br0
add device to bridge:
nmcli connection add type bridge-slave autoconnect yes con-name br0-eth0 ifname eth0 master br0
add ip address to bridge interface:
nmcli connection modify br0 ipv4.address 192.168.75.15 ipv4.method manual ipv4.gateway 192.168.75.1 ipv4.dns 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2
active bridge interface:
nmcli connection up br0
