Unraid VMs: only NAT available for the network interface?

[luca]

It seems as though only NAT mode is supported for virtual VMs created on unRAID 6.  I think that libvirt supports "routed" interfaces (which I think is what I need) but I'm not sure how to set that up in unraid.  How to make the VMs part of my actual LAN (192.168.1.0).

If you want a VM to be visible on the local LAN, then You need to go into the unRAID network settings and enable a bridge (which will default to br0).  Once this has been done then you can use that in the VM network settings to get the VM visible on the local LAN.

You have to set "Setup Bridge" to Yes in network config of Unraid. After that you should get an IP from your router if you choose the network bridge in the network settings of the VM.

 

Edit: Itimpi beat me

It works like a charm.  Thank you itimpi and saarg! 

I just added a static DHCP entries on my router so the address on the VMs will not change.
