Overview
Used to edit the configuration of the specified virtual network.
virsh net-edit <virtual-network-name>
The command brings the specified network configuration in the default editor, allowing it to be edited:
<network>
<name>default</name>
<uuid>49a07631-ea20-4741-89ea-b0faa7b42d19</uuid>
<forward mode='nat'/>
<bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0'/>
<mac address='52:54:00:15:ef:87'/>
<ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254'/>
</dhcp>
</ip>
</network>
Configuration changes applied with virsh net-edit modify the following:
- DNS and DHCP server's (dnsmasq) configuration file /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf.
Changes applied with virsh net-edit won't take effect until the network is destroyed and re-started, which will cause a all guests to lose network connectivity with the host until their network interfaces are explicitly re-attached. If we need to avoid losing connectivity, changes may also be applied with virsh net-update.
Operations
Modify DHCP Range
Execute
virsh net-edit <virtual-network-name>
and modify the following section:
...
<dhcp>
<range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254'/>
</dhcp>
...
Upon save, libvirt will update DNS and DHCP server's (dnsmasq) configuration file /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf.
