qemu guest machine visit solution 2: network bridge/tap in private network (host-only)

Normally qemu uses user network/10.0.2.x by default.

For network bridge with TAP/192.168.122.x, you need create TAP interface by ROOT. 

############## Get list of support net device from qemu 

lake@lake-Latitude-5491:~/qemu$ qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,model=?
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: TCG doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.vmx [bit 5]
qemu: Supported NIC models: ne2k_pci,i82551,i82557b,i82559er,rtl8139,e1000,pcnet,virtio,sungem

 

1.  Host bridge interface 

virbr0 is defined in /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml

lake@lake-Latitude-5491:~/qemu$ ifconfig virbr0
virbr0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.122.1  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.122.255

2. root creats tap0 bridge interface

sudo tunctl -t tap0
sudo ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 up
sudo brctl addif virbr0 tap0

lake@lake-Latitude-5491:~/qemu$ ifconfig 
tap0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

3.  root starts qemu with network bridge/tap0

 lake@lake-Latitude-5491:~/qemu$ sudo  qemu-system-i386  -m  4086M   -hda    disk.img    -netdev tap,id=tapnet,ifname=tap0,script=no  -device rtl8139,netdev=tapnet
