There is nothing severely wrong with that XML, it should work. What
specific problems are you having? Does the API return an error? Anything
in the logs?

Note also that the boot_protocol, ip, and on_boot elements will just be
ignored. These elements are used only for host NICs, not for VM NICs. If
you want to change the IP configuration of the OS of the VM then you
have to use whatever mechanisms that OS provides. The RESTAPI can help
you in these regards only if you combine it with Cloud-init or Sysprep.
