+## Introduction
+This is a short and sweet walk-through for how to create
+a new network for `libvirt` for `kvm`, from the command line,
+using `virsh`.
+
+## Name Resolution
+Let's start with name resolution.
+
+* Install `libnss-libvirt`:
+```shell
+apt install libnss-libvirt
+```
+
+* In `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, add `libvirt` to hosts key.
+```cfg
+# /etc/nsswitch.conf
+# change this
+...
+hosts: files dns mymachines
+...
+# to this
+...
+hosts: files libvirt dns mymachines
+...
+```
+
+## Starter XML
+You could dumpxml on the existing _default_ network:
+```shell
+virsh net-dumpxml default > foonet.xml
+```
+Then, edit foonet.xml:
+
+* remove the network uuid
+* change the network name to taste
+* remove the bridge mac
+* change the bridge name to taste
+* change the bridge ip address and dhcp range to taste
+
+```xml
+
+
+ foonet
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Define The Network
+With the above xml file: `virsh net-define foonet.xml`
+
+The network definition can now be found in `/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/foonet.xml`
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+ foonet
+ e6e40bfc-d449-4043-924c-ca0f0edf4210
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+You could also start the network without defining it
+using `virsh net-create foonet.xml`.
+
+## Start/Stop
+* Start the network
+ * `virsh net-start foonet`
+* Stop the network
+ * `virsh net-destroy foonet`
+* Undefine the network
+ * `virsh net-undefine foonet`
+* Autostart the network
+ * `virsh net-autostart foonet`
+* Disable autostart for the network
+ * `virsh net-autostart foonet --disable`
+
+Tab completion is you friend!
