[Mi, 18 Okt 2017 16:38:57 virt-manager 31596] DEBUG (interface:253) Creating int
erface 'ens3.180' with xml:
<interface type="vlan" name="ens3.180">
  <start mode="onboot"/>
  <vlan tag="180">
    <interface name="ens3"/>
  </vlan>
</interface>

So it's libvirt fantasizing the IPv6 configuration? Can virt-manager explicitly say that "no configuration" is desired?

Greetings
Marc
