QEMU can assign distinct dynamic IP addresses to each virtual machine by setting up a virtual network with a DHCP server. Here are the steps:

  1. Create a virtual network:
sudo qemu-system-* -netdev user,id=usernet -device virtio-net,netdev=usernet
  1. Install a DHCP server on the host system, such as dnsmasq or isc-dhcp-server.

  2. Configure the DHCP server to listen on the QEMU virtual network interface and set a range of IP addresses to be handed out to virtual machines.

  3. Start the DHCP server and start the virtual machines. Each virtual machine will receive a unique IP address from the DHCP server.
