First time really using KVM on unraid and its been an age since I have altogether.

 

Updating settings....

 

Then I do...

# virsh net-list --all
 Name      State    Autostart   Persistent
--------------------------------------------
 default   active   yes         yes

and

# virsh net-info default
Name:           default
UUID:           bbb7a68b-ad63-4bcf-8ca2-56cbebd2bb33
Active:         yes
Persistent:     yes
Autostart:      yes
Bridge:         virbr0

 

No matter what I change (using the unraid GUI) I cannot get it to budge of virbr0.  

 

My containers are all fine operating off vhost0, am i missing something?

What do you see when you create a VM? Vhost is not a bridge.

Is that my issue, because I've not enabled bridging in the Network Settings?  I've always used docker and just created a macvlan network against a chosen interface.

If bridging is disabled then VM has to use vhost.

Sorry I think the penny is dropping.

 

So the value I specify as the default source in Network Settings is just to populate the option when creating a new guest in the web interface?

 

FWIW I've definately disabled bridging but I've no issues in creating a guest using either virbr0 or vhost0 and getting a functional guest network working.
