B.4. How to Set Up Red Hat Virtualization Manager to Use a Non-Management Network

You can configure each host in a Data Center to use a non-management network as the default network, instead of the default management network (ovirtmgmt). The default_route property is defined for host network interface cards from the Administration Portal. The default_route key is not available by default and needs to be added to the Manager using the engine configuration tool. You can check whether default_route has already been enabled by running the following command:

# engine-config -g UserDefinedNetworkCustomProperties

The default_route key is now available in the Administration Portal. See Section 6.5.2, “Editing Host Network Interfaces and Assigning Logical Networks to Hosts” to define a non-management network.
