>From the web admin:
1. You have to select the hosted engine datacenter and than create a new logical network.
2. Select the new logical network and under the cluster tab ensure that it's associated to the hosted engine cluster
3. Select your hosted engine host and, under the network interfaces tab, select 'Setup Host Networks' to bind a physical interface of that host to the new logical network
4. At that point you can select the engine VM and add a new nic choosing the right profile to bind it to the second logical network

Keep in mind that we had a bug in oVIrt 3.5.0 in that area.
If you added an additional logical network to the first hosted engine host before adding the second one, you won't be able to deploy it.
No problems if you deploy the second host and only than you add the second logical network configuring it on both the hosts.

We already fixed it but it will going to be released with 3.5.1
