Reusing MAC addresses for VMs will probably prevent lease consumption unless the the DHCP server is more clever and uses other information about the system to store leases. On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 1:37 PM Mark Galassi <mark@galassi.org> wrote:

I agree that it is the best way to do set up VMs for many purposes.
But I'm talking about another use for virt-managed KVM VMs: I like to simulate setups that are independent of the local network, and setups that are shut off from most of the world. (Also sometimes for quick "create, run release engineering/qa scripts, destroy" purposes.)
I then like to have a rapid procedure that stands-up these configurations.
For such a simulation the default NAT works well, and I'm trying to give it a transportable configuration with less volatile ip addresses and some repos. _______________________________________________ nmglug mailing list nmglug@lists.nmglug.org http://lists.nmglug.org/listinfo.cgi/nmglug-nmglug.org
