I have a CentOS 7 host with a network bridge set up for guest VM's to use. All was well until a recent reboot. After the reboot, the guest VM does not have internet access, nor can it ping other local addresses (and other local machines cannot ping the guest) The host machine has internet access, and I can SSH into it from within the LAN.

I have the following files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts on the host system:

ifcfg-br0:

STP=no

The VM was installed with virt-install using the --network bridge=br0 argument, and it was able to access the web, serve web pages via apache, and it could be pinged my other computer in the LAN.

What can I do next to get this guest VM back on the network through the br0 network bridge?

I don't have CentOS to hand, but I can speak from extensive experience in Debian.

Generally speaking, bridge configurations require that the interface itself (in your case enp0s25) is not configured with an IP address. The physical interface remains unconfigured but UP and RUNNING, and the IP configuration for the host gets applied to logical bridge interface instead.

I'd suggest changing the file ifcfg-enp0s25 to have ONBOOT=no and trying again.

If that doesn't work, delete the ifcfg-enp0s25 file (ie move it some place safe) because you've got the requisite settings in the slave file.
