Sorry, a stupid question.
If the bridge is the primary interface on host, and the homeassistant KVM also uses this bridge, will this cause them to get the same IP again?
Thank you for your patience.
Unless there's something wonky with your virsh configuration, no.
This is a shitty explanation and if anyone would like to explain it better feel free, but the bridge interface acts as sorta like a network switch that can forward packets as well as be used for an interface, if configured.
What that means is, essentially, your VMs will be attaching their ethernet devices to a "switch" that then routes the packets out to the local LAN as if it were, well, a nic plugged into a switch.
virsh shouldn't assign an in-use MAC, as it generates a random one (and I have no idea what you'd have to do to make them not do that) so everything should... just work.
