Re: [Engine-devel] Network Wiring
NX users may confuse between connected to vm or connected to the
switch (despite of <plugged>),
as they used to <link>=up|down<link/>
Yap, no convergence on terminology yet, right?
I think we need to keep the plugged/unplugged not to confuse libvirt users
however let's do wired/un-wired = link-up / link-down it's understood by everyone
and Michael pointed out
What about allowing a nic with the no-network? Did not see discussion on this.
It is useful as an interim state when changing networks or if the nic is there to be use
by a hook. This may also be useful when allowing to purge a network while it is connected
to VMs: Link-Down on all nics and connect to the empty/no network. (Yes I know, it's
not par of the feature, but you know someone will ask for it soon :))
The coupling between vNIC and LN should break - for this feature (that I hate to call it
wired) and for future to come.
