Loop with two arguments file bash script

Question

Writing simple script where I need to take arguments IP and name from file.

list.txt:

0.0.0.0 a
0.0.0.1 a1
...

Script example:

list=$(cat list.txt)
for ip, name in list
do
    ssh $ip 
    virsh reset $name
done

What I need is correct syntax firstly to iterate through ip and then in same loop reset by name

You can use read here to read ip and name in 2 different varibles:

while read -r ip name; do
    ssh "$ip"
    virsh reset "$name"
done < list.txt
