Hello,
I followed these steps to create a bonded VM network (no vlan tagging)
with 3.2 beta.
Only differences
- assignement of network to cluster (step 2) can also be completed
while in step 1)

- step 3 : to see the host and setup networks for it you have to
select the "unattached" check box

I don't understand if and how I can put lan parameters if I don't use
vlan tagging
I don't see any option for that, when I edit the "network" itself or
go through the "setup host networks"

For example the VMs that will attach to this new network that I called
"client" will have ip of the form
10.10.10.x/24 with gw 10.10.10.1

and eventually I would like to give an ip address to the created bond
itself. Can I?

Thanks,
Gianluca
