Documentation / KVM Virtual Servers
Hypervisors
The panel server is added as a hypervisor during the install. To add another, go to VPS, Hypervisors, Add hypervisor and enter its IP and root password. The password is only used once to install the panel's SSH key and is not stored. KVM and libvirt are installed for you.
The hypervisor must run AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux with Intel VT-x or AMD-V enabled.
Network modes
| Mode | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Routed | Your provider routes additional IPs to the server. Works without virtual MACs. The default. |
| Bridge | The server has a Linux bridge with its public network card in it. |
| Direct | You want VPSes directly on a network card, without a bridge. |
| NAT | Testing only. VPSes get private addresses. |
A VPS whose IP has a virtual MAC always uses that MAC on the server's network card, whatever the mode.
