[QEMU] How to setup VM network via DHCP

[jmjosebest]

Hello, there is any way to provide our customers the option to configure the network via DHCP intead to configure the network mannualy?

Now, we need provide all network setting, IP, gateway and netmask, and when our customer install the OS he need to enter this setting by hand.

Looking on SolusVM, customers can "click" on "Configure via DHCP" on the OS install, and all is done.

Thanks in advance for the info!

Of course, you just need a DHCP server in the same network the VMs end up in. Make sure to ALWAYS configure dhcp servers for static mode, i.e. MAC<->IP pairs are static.

@dietmar Will be very interesting if this feature come as a default and integrated in Proxmox v3.4

Hi,
But this is already a feature of the guest system, as mo_ pointed, you just need to have a DHCP server.

Best regards,
