[Kimchi-devel] RFC: Templates API changes for 'networks' attribute

[Archana Singh]

Hi Suresh,


1) I guess for virtual network do you mean type as "network" instead 
"direct"?

      virtual network(type=direct)

2) Just to be clear the network xml example given by you are not for 
libvirt network xml instead interface xml used in domain xml.

3) Just to addon example of interface xml for virtual 
network(type=network) (current implementation).

<interface type='network' name='ethX'>

<start mode='onboot'/>

<source network='default'/>

<model type='virtio'/>

</interface>

Thanks,

Archana Singh
