Used bridge networking to provide ip to qemu kvm guest vm through packer, but getting SSH ip/port failed: dial tcp 10.0.0.8:22: connect: connection

[pravinjec]

Used net_bridge: br0 in json file to connect with br0 bridge , with nat it is working fine, but want to create multiple guest vm through packer and with default nat all the guest vm getting same ip. But i want different ip for all the guest vm.
If there is way with nat network to provide different ip to guest vm's then please let me know that as well, else please help me to fix this issue. There is not much information on internet about bridge networking issue

Also when build starts tap interfaces are getting created for bridge.
