Is it possible to configure two VMs on a Ubuntu KVM host with two static IPs

  • 772

I have two static IPs, e.g 220.220.220.220 and 220.220.220.221. I have one network card on the host machine. Can i configure each VM to have it's own IP?

ubuntu kvm-virtualization

    You don't need two network cards to allow two VMs. The host will act like a network switch, and send the packets where they need to go.

  2. Yes you can. With 2 IP addresses you can configure 2 machines to have their own IP addresses (does not matter if they are virtual or real machines). If you set up 2 virtual machines with these IP addresses, you do not have any left for the host machine (which is often fine and some times even desirable).
