VM Network Setup

Configure and manage virtual networking for libvirt VMs.

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Purpose
`action`	string	required	list, create, start, stop, scan
`network_name`	string	"default"	Name of the virtual network
`bridge`	string	""	Bridge interface name

Persona

Load infra persona (libvirt, nmap, ssh tools).

Workflow

1. Bootstrap

persona_load("infra")
check_known_issues("virsh_net", "") — known network issues

2. Network Status

virsh_net_list() — list all virtual networks
virsh_net_info(network=network_name) — network details

3. Network Lifecycle

If action=start: virsh_net_start(network=network_name)
If action=stop: virsh_net_destroy(network=network_name)
If action=create: Create XML at /tmp/{network_name}-net.xml, then virsh_define(xml_file=...)

4. VM Interfaces (action=list or scan)

virsh_list() — list VMs
virsh_domiflist(domain=network_name) — VM interfaces (domain may be VM name for interface check)
If action=scan: virsh_dumpxml(domain=network_name) — inspect VM XML

5. Network Scanning (action=scan)

nmap_ping_scan(target="192.168.122.0/24") — discover hosts
ssh_test(host=network_name) — test SSH to VM on network

6. Error Handling

On "network not found": learn_tool_fix("virsh_net", "network not found", "Network does not exist", "virsh net-define <xml> && virsh net-start <name>")
On "already active": no action needed

7. Session Log

memory_session_log("VM network setup: {action}", "network={network_name}")
