I have a server with 6 NICs. I have 5 vms that I've created. Is there a way to give each vm it's own NIC to use? I assume that if I distribute the physical NICs it would perform better than running all vms bridged through the same NIC. What's the preferred way to handle this so that each vm can use a different physical NIC?

I tried creating a new bridge (vmbr1), but I get this error:
Since all the NICs will be connecting to the same rounter/network, I need to use the same gateway for them. What is the proper way to do this?

You only need to specify the IP address and gateway on one bridge. A bridge is a layer 2 device, so in general there is no need for an IP setup.
