Assigning an IP-address to a VM network in oVirt is _not_ mandatory,
it is only needed for "management" networks (ovirtmgmnt, display, storage)
where the _hosts_ need connectivity to resources on that network.

Is this a tagged or an untagged vlan? (an untagged vlan means only one vlan
per physical interface andneeds no extra configuration on the OS side)
Which other (physical) interfaces are in your "br1" interface?
Are the (tagged) vlans assigned to this interface?

A vlan interface on linux looks like this: "eth0.20" where eth0 is the
"physical" interface on which tagged vlans are configured and 20 is the
number of one of those interfaces.

In the case of an oVirt VM network the physical interface is bridged (and
sometimes bonded)
so the interface configuration looks like this: "br1.20".

The "normal" route for configuring a new network in ovirt is to configure
it in the "networks" tab
(as a VM network) and then assigin this network to physical- or bonded
interfaces on all the
hosts in your cluster.
