So this is a somewhat newbie question. I have Ubuntu 19.10 running as a HTPC but it's got power to spare. I have a second NIC it and would like to connect a guest VM (Ubuntu or CentOS) directly to this card so it's seem on my LAN; meaning it gets a DHCP address and local DNS name from my rougher while my host OS does the same from the onboard NIC. I plan to use this for light back-up services.
I was planning on using KVM with Virtual Machine Manager to accomplish this. My reading has got me confused. It seem like I need to set up a bridge but might be able to do some sort of hardware direct addressing. What would be best way to do this. I feel like this is simple but some discussions and tutorials have me going in circles.
Thanks in advance for your help!
