34 Setting up a KVM VM Host Server

35 Guest installation

36 Running virtual machines with qemu-system-ARCH

The networking examples specify netdev backend options (such as ifname, script, downscript, restrict, net, host, dhcpstart, hostname, tftp, bootfile, and hostfwd) on the -netdev line, matching current QEMU syntax. The obsolete vlan suboption is no longer used, and mac replaces the obsolete macaddr p…
