What is the proper way to provide networks without an egress of the host? In VMware i would take a portgroup and just not associate it with a vnic. In ovirt that doesnt seem possible as the network doesnt seem to function unless i move to a physical nic under the "Setup Host Networks" options.
The Goal here is to provide a network for VMs to use on the single host only no traffic would need to leave the host but would need to have VLan IDs and segmentation through them on the host
Maybe I do not get your scenario completely. Would a OVN nework per host solve your problem?
OVN allows to create an isolated network that speads across the while cluster. If I understand correctly, Brian has more humble requirement, which users implement by creating a dummy0 device (note the lack of underscore in the name). The dummy device would she as a nic on the host, allows attaching a bridge to it, but lets no traffic leave the host. Regards, Dan.
