Jeroen,
You should ssh on the system vm's IP from the host it is running on, on port 3922 as described in the wiki [1]. If you still want to use virsh, ssh to the host where the system vm or user vms are running, you can log in using: virsh list # confirm that the vm is running on the host virsh console <name of the vm such as s-1-VM> If you don't see login prompt, press 'Enter' couple of times and you should see the login console (Ctrl+] to exit console). You may use credentials -- username: root, password: password in test environments whereas on most production systems you may fail to log in as they would have the global setting system.vm.random.password set to true, which randomizez root user's password on system vms.

If I can get a console through virsh for the 2 system vm's, where can I find a login to use for network troubleshooting?
