Do you mean something like this?

Or this?
<= Search for "NAT Networking" or "Bridged Tap Networking"

without a host bridge actually existing? Not by default, but you can use (AFAIK) the open vswitch project to abstract networking from the physical host. Do you have a specific scenario when you really need this? On their project page one of their first comments is that using the host networks great, and you'd only give a crap about using their code for clustering and HA etc in general, which would allow for private vlan's between machines without requiring any involvement on the external network infrastructure etc.

Am I missing something here? These guides are not required if you just want "normal" networking via virt-manager. I deviate from it becuase I want full bridged networking from the outside environment which isn't provided by default, but if I only wanted NAT networking I'd never go any where near config files.
