KVM/Networking. There are a few different ways to allow a virtual machine access to the external network. The default virtual network configuration is known as Usermode Networking. NAT is performed on traffic through the host interface to the outside network.
What’s the difference between Nat and KVM / networking?
KVM/Networking. NAT is performed on traffic through the host interface to the outside network. Alternatively, you can configure Bridged Networking to enable external hosts to directly access services on the guest operating system. If you are confused, the libvirt Networking Handbook provides a good outline.
