[virt-tools-list] Virt-manager: Restricted networks

Hello, 'Isolated' networks created in VMM (I’m running 1.4.3) still connect to the host (as gateway). Is it possible to avoid this? It is my understanding that QEMU provides a 'restrict' option for that, but I don't understand it well, and can’t find it in VMM. Thanks very much for the help

Yes, Pavel that is correct, as in not wanting the guest to get started. I was hoping I could use virt-manager to "create" templates by "creating" a guest vm that is ready to be powered on whenever it's needed. I could do this in Hyper-V & was hoping for similar functionality. On Oct 2 2018, at 5
