Thanks for reply,

Following is my guest xml file.

I am using Openstack JUNO and it use  OVS.

<interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:cd:2a:a4'/>
      <source bridge='qbrdd55b834-f8'/>
      <target dev='tapdd55b834-f8'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
