qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512M -enable-kvm -net nic macaddr=14:c6:11:d6:f1:6b,netdev=net0 -netdev socket,id=net0,connect=127.0.0.1:1234 -cdrom alpine-standard-3.10.2-x86_64.iso -vga cirrus -curses
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512M -enable-kvm -net nic macaddr=14:c6:11:d6:f1:5b,netdev=net0 -netdev socket,id=net0,connect=127.0.0.1:1234 -cdrom alpine-standard-3.10.2-x86_64.iso -vga cirrus -curses

Set-up each network interface on the same LAN:

ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0
ip link set eth0 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0
