I created a new network – called virbr1<\/p>\n

<network connections=\"1\">\r\n  <name>virbr1<\/name>\r\n  <uuid>a4ca0fc9-06e7-4ad6-8fad-e8b1865a6877<\/uuid>\r\n  <forward mode=\"nat\">\r\n    <nat>\r\n      <port start=\"1024\" end=\"65535\"\/>\r\n    <\/nat>\r\n  <\/forward>\r\n  <bridge name=\"virbr1\" stp=\"on\" delay=\"0\"\/>\r\n  <mac address=\"52:54:00:b7:af:d0\"\/>\r\n  <domain name=\"virbr1\"\/>\r\n  <ip address=\"192.168.100.1\" netmask=\"255.255.255.0\">\r\n    <dhcp>\r\n      <range start=\"192.168.100.128\" end=\"192.168.100.254\"\/>\r\n    <\/dhcp>\r\n  <\/ip>\r\n<\/network>allow\u00a0virbr0<br\u00a0\/>allow\u00a0br0<br\u00a0\/>allow\u00a0virbr1<\/pre>\n
Note: in order to add a network with virt-manager gui one must run as root.<\/p>\n
When I connected a VM to this – I got the following error:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
usr\/libexec\/qemu-bridge-helper --use-vnet --br=virbr1 --fd=41: failed to communicate with bridge helper: stderr=>\r\n                                            : Transport endpoint is not connected\r\n<\/pre>\n
In the gui – it says “access denied by acl file<\/p>\n
Error starting domain: \/usr\/libexec\/qemu-bridge-helper --use-vnet --br=virbr1 --fd=41: failed to communicate with bridge helper: stderr=access denied by acl file\r\n: Transport endpoint is not connected<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
The solution is the to edit the \/etc\/qemu\/bridge.conf.\u00a0 Add allow virbr1.\u00a0 this allows non-root users to access the bridge<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
allow virbr0\r\nallow br0\r\nallow virbr1<\/pre>\n
