So the steps I have taken to create this.
1. Assign the 2nd physical interface a static IP.
2. In oVirt Engine, go to "Data Centers" and select "Logical Networks" 
then "New". For name, something like "public_interface", check "Enable 
VLAN tagging" and for the field entry, "20". Leave defaults, such as "VM 
network" checked.
3. Go to "Hosts" then "Network Interfaces" then "Setup Host Networks". 
Drag "public_interface" to the physical interface, "em2". Save 
configuration.
4. This shows as "public_interface" (VLAN20) with the green box VM next 
to it.
5. A fresh installed VM of CentOS6.5 is used with nic1 as 
"public_interface".
6. After configuring the interface "eth0" with a public IP, I am unable 
to ping any public IP or hostname.

Hopefully there's a flaw in the action I took to configure it and it's a 
simple fix.

Thank you,
Neil
