I have configured linux VM using virsh/libvirt/kvm and having problem with bridge network.
Default NAT network from libvirt was working fine, but I need bridge to public interface.
I have removed default network using virsh, and changed VM network setting in virsh to:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='02:00:00:c1:8f:95'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
on host system i have configured bridge:
# brctl show br0
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.a0423f494574 yes enp97s0f0
vnet0
# brctl showstp br0
br0

where enp97s0f0 is a public NIC and vnet0 is virtual nic used by libvirt.
I have configured IPs and gateways on VM, but got no reply to pings.
I have done tcpdump on Host machine during pings from VM to 1.1.1.1 cloudflare dns, both on vnet0 and br0. Here are results:
# tcpdump -i vnet0 -n host VM.VM.VM.VM
dropped privs to tcpdump

15:12:35.093649 IP 1.1.1.1 > VM.VM.VM.VM: ICMP echo reply, id 2016, seq 6, length 64
So i can see, that VM is sending ping request via vnet0, bridge br0 is forwarding this request to 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.1 is sending reply back to bridge. Then packet dissapear and never reach VM interface.
That is why i think that issue is probably connected to some kind of packet filtering on host, but i have check a bunch of variables and everything looks ok:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward : 1
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/br0/forwarding : 1
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vnet0/forwarding : 1

Host system is Centos8 with 5.13.12-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64 kernel.
VM system is Centos8 default install.
EDIT:
If I configure private network IPs on host br0 and on VM enp1s0 interface, then VM is able to ping host and host is able to ping VM. But still unable to ping anything outside local network.
