https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html-single/administration_guide/#Explanation_of_Settings_in_the_VM_Interface_Profile_Window 6.2.3. Explanation of Settings in the VM Interface Profile Window Table 6.5. VM Interface Profile Window "Network Filter" Current text: "A drop-down list of the available network filters to apply to the vNIC profile. Network filters improve network security by filtering the type of packets that can be sent to and from virtual machines. The default filter is vdsm-no-mac-spoofing, which is a combination of no-mac-spoofing and no-arp-mac-spoofing. For more information on the network filters provided by libvirt, see the Pre-existing network filters section of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization Deployment and Administration Guide." To be added to Admin guide: NIC profile filter must be set to "no-filter" (in other words, no-mac-spoofing must be disabled) if nested virtualization is used. Otherwise, packets cannot be sent to/from the nested VM (or RHVM, if installed as hosted engine). Link to this section and explanation should be added to the SHE guide. This is relevant for, but not restricted to, SHE installation. Confirmed by Simone Tiraboschi.

Maybe a reference in "Table 7.7. Kernel Settings" "Nested Virtualization" a link to this information might be helpful.
SHE guide: In case you are testing SHE with a virtual host, make sure that you virtual hosts allows mac spoofing. + Reference to "VM Interface Profile Window" "Network Filter"
Dominik, is this bug still relevant? Admin guide now mentions the "<no network filter>" option: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/administration_guide/index#Explanation_of_Settings_in_the_VM_Interface_Profile_Window Installation guide does not mention network filters, so this might mean that it is obsolete: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html-single/installing_red_hat_virtualization_as_a_standalone_manager_with_local_databases/index#doc-wrapper

yes this is still relevant
RHV is end of life. This issue is deferred. If you feel strongly that documentation is required, then please re-open this issue.
