How are static IPs assigned?
Static IP addresses generally are used by servers or other important equipment. Static IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Your ISP may or may not allocate you a static IP address depending on the nature of your service agreement.
Why would you need multiple static IPs?
You must use the static IPs we assign to you. When you enable multiple static IPs on your account, the subnet assigned provides usable addresses. One of these addresses must be assigned to your router and will become the default gateway for the devices that require the additional static IPs.
How to configure static guest IP address?
Guest VMs are both, Linux and Windows based. Any help would be highly appreciated. If you don’t want to do any configuration inside the guest, then the only option is a DHCP server that hands out static IP addresses. If you use bridge mode, that will probably be some external DHCP server. Consult its manual to find out how to serve static leases.
How to assign static IP to a VM?
Here is how: First, find out the MAC addresses of the VMs you want to assign static IP addresses: Find the section, restrict the dynamic range and add host entries for your VMs Then, reboot your VM (or restart its DHCP client, e.g. ifdown eth0; ifup eth0)

It can have configured its own static IP, and the only requirements are same as for typical IP configuration (ex. same subnet setting for guest and host).
How to assign static guest IP in DHCP-KVM?
But at least in forward modes nat or route, you could use libvirt’s built-in dnsmasqd (More recent versions of libvirtd support the dnsmasq’s “dhcp-hostsfile” option). Here is how: First, find out the MAC addresses of the VMs you want to assign static IP addresses:
