Adding a Virtual Network Adapter

--device-add net --type < shared | bridged | host-only > [ --iface < name >] [ --mac < addr | auto >]

[ --ipadd < addr [/ mask ]> | --ipdel < addr [/ mask ]> | --dhcp < yes | no > | --dhcp6 < yes | no >]

[ --gw < gw >] [ --gw6 < gw >] [ --nameserver < addr >] [ --searchdomain < addr >]

[ --configure < yes | no >] [ --apply-iponly < yes | no >]

[ --adapter-type < virtio | e1000 | e1000e | rtl >]

Parameters

--type : the type of the network adapter to create in the virtual machine.

--iface : the host network interface to be assigned to the bridged or host-only virtual network adapter.

--mac : the MAC address to be assigned to the virtual network adapter. If omitted, the MAC address will be automatically generated.

--ipadd : the IP address to be assigned to the network adapter in the virtual machine.

--ipdel : the IP address to be removed from the network adapter in the virtual machine.

--dhcp : specifies whether the virtual network adapter should get its IP settings through a DHCP server.

--dhcp6 : specifies whether the virtual network adapter should get its IPv6 settings through a DHCP server.

--gw : the default gateway to be used by the virtual machine.

--gw6 : the default IPv6 gateway to be used by the virtual machine.

--nameserver : the default DNS server to be used by the virtual machine.

--searchdomain : the default search domain to be used by the virtual machine.

--configure : if set to yes , the settings above are applied to the virtual network adapter instead of its original settings. Configuring any of the settings above automatically sets this option to yes .

--apply-iponly : if set to yes , the hostname, nameserver, and search domain settings from the virtual machine configuration file are ignored.

--adapter-type : specifies the network adapter emulation type.
