I have several guests running on the same host with 1 nic. how to configure the network in order that each guest will be a peer in the host physical lan? >>>> to configure one guest as a peer the bridged network is a solution but for 2 or more...?

Re: connect several guests on the sane host to lan
Bridged is a solution for that too. Did you have some reason to believe they aren't, or were you just checking?
Per Euclid's ancient saying quoted in the recent movie "Lincoln", "things that are equal to something else are also equal to each other". So if two VMs are peers of the host on the physical network then they are also peers of each other.
Bear in mind that there are several ways they can be peers with each other without using the physical network, if your only goal is to let the VMs communicate with each other and the host.
