For testing purposes i decided to create a VE based on KVM.

I filled ip address / dns.

But, once created, i couldn't anymore change this from proxmox gui !!!!

After reading manuals, i decided to look at :

/etc/qemu-server/conf : i've a file but juste with few info as cdrom, etc...

/etc/vz/conf/ : no file as supposed by many docs...

And i read that vzctl isn't effective on KVM containers.

So on my linux guest, i've eth0 on dhcp : and at each boot it retrieves the initial IP and restore dns catched by dhcp...

How to change KVM's network properties ???

Thank you

P.S. : i studied it a little more and understood a little more the functionment :

I create a virtual interface (vmbr0-9) which acts like a virtual switch, and correctly forward broadcast packets...

But as soon as i specify a static IP to the KVM, it doesn't come up on my linux guest..

Myconfig :

vmbr0 attached to eth0.

And need to setup proxmox as 192.168.1.1 and KVM as 192.168.1.2, let's say

Well forget...misunderstood some network models on proxmox.

(Was misunderstanding how eth0 could be allocated to a linux guest.)

It's simple.

Sincerely,
