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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Kenigsberg" <danken@redhat.com> To: "Phil Daws" <uxbod@splatnix.net> Cc: users@ovirt.org Sent: Wednesday, 22 October, 2014 2:13:34 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 & NAT On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 08:02:01PM +0100, Phil Daws wrote:
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).
