=== Bridge networking === | === Networking === | ||
==== Default networking ==== | |||
To utilize the default libvirt network, you will need to install the {{nixos:package|dnsmasq}} package. This is required for DNS and DCHP functionality within the network. | |||
Once the package is installed, enable and start the default network using the following commands: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="console"> | |||
# virsh net-autostart default | |||
# virsh net-start default | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
This will configure the default network to start automatically on boot and immediately activate it. | |||
