Bridging the virtual machine network
Your KVM VMs will use their own network unless you configure bridged networking. This means your VMs will get an IP address in their own network, instead of yours. By default, each machine will be a member of the 192.168.122.0/24 network, with an IP address in the range of 192.168.122.2 to 192.168.122.254. If you’re utilizing KVM VMs on your personal laptop or desktop, this behavior might be adequate. You’ll be able to SSH into your VMs via their IP addresses if you’re connecting from the same machine the VMs are running on. If this satisfies your use case, there’s no further configuration you’ll need to do.
Bridged networking allows your VMs to receive an IP address from the DHCP server on your network instead of its internal one, which will allow you to communicate with your VMs from any other machine on your network. This use case is preferable if you’re setting up a central VM server to power infrastructure...
