Example in context

Starting with a few virtual networks already defined:

virsh # net-list --all
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default              active     yes
examplenetwork       active     no

We use net-dumpxml to look at the XML configuration for "examplenetwork":

virsh # net-dumpxml examplenetwork
<network>
  <name>examplenetwork</name>
  <uuid>b7005dec-be1a-fe9a-338a-0cb1301dfcfd</uuid>
  <forward mode='route'/>
  <bridge name='virbr100' stp='on' delay='0' />
  <ip address='10.10.120.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
  </ip>
</network>

Done.
