This chapter covers special topics for networking and network configuration with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization.

Most guest network configuration occurs during the guest initialization and installation process. To learn about configuring networking during the guest installation process, read the relevant sections of the installation process, Chapter 5, Installing guests.

Network configuration is also covered in the tool specific reference chapters for virsh(Chapter 20, Managing guests with virsh) and virt-manager(Chapter 21, Managing guests with Virtual Machine Manager(virt-manager)). Those chapters provide a detailed description of the networking configuration tasks using both tools.
