| The supports one Network Management interface and up to four Network Media interfaces. The minimal networking configuration (one management and one media interface) requires two bridge interfaces configured on Hyper Visor host. To support maximum 1+4 configuration, Hyper Visor host must have five bridge interfaces configured prior to the Virtual Machine (VM) installation. |

The Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a type of PCI device that enables a physical device (such as a single NIC device) to share to multiple virtual functions; this functionality improves the performance of the I/O. SR-IOV configuration in KVM can share the physical port with multiple virtual machines. For the configuration steps required to enable SR-IOV networks on the KVM platform, refer to Red Hat Enterprise's PCI Device Assignment with SR-IOV Devices.
