Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 & NAT
Thanks Dan & Antoni:
I wonder then if I could replace the standard libvirt defined network with an OpenVSwitch
one like I have on my dev system? That is just straight KVM with OVS integrated. Maybe a
bit more overhead in administration but possibly less than having to spin up a Neutron
Appliance.

Hello All!
Am really enjoying experimenting with oVirt but have come across a question; how does one
enable NAT for a VM ? Would like my guests to be able to update their software by
bridging the host public IP. I could not see anything in the WUI to allow this ?
Unfortunately, this is not yet available "out of the box". You need to
create the natted network in libvirt, and then connect your vNic to it
via a vdsm hook.
This mailing list has seen various suggestions on this subject (such as
[1]). While searching for them, I found a recent blog using the extent
hook for that[2] (ymmv).
