I'm trying to determine if it's possible to edit/attach/apply nwfilter rules at runtime? I.e., after a VM is already running, can I apply a nwfilter to the VM and have it work without rebooting the machine? Thus far, I've not come across a way to do so, but I thought I'd ask here before I chase my
tail around Google.

Simply re-define the nwfilter in question using  virsh nwfilter-define.
Any VMs using that filter will automatically update.

Thank you for the quick reply.

As for adding the nwfilter to a guest that does not already have the filter, will that guest need to be rebooted? Or can I add it to the guest via 'virsh edit'? I ask becase, from what I can tell, adding a new filter via 'virsh edit' doesn't seem to work -- though it's good to know that once a 'filterref' has been defined in the guest, it can be adjusted on the fly.
