virt-manager

[frédéric dubois]

Hello, 

Many thanks for all answers. 

Now I know how to add a local port even if virt-manager is not working. 

For information virt-manager is useful to manage (with a GUI) xen or kvm
virtual machines (through libvirt). 

As proposed I'll try to do it through command line or remotely on a
linux system. 

Regards
