Hi all,
This is a proposal for reporting the vNic implementation details as reported by the guest agent per each vNic.
Please review the wiki and add your comments.
While we're making the change is there anything else we'd want to report - MTU, MAC (since a user might try to override), etc ?
About the MAC address - the engine uses the MAC address to correlate between the guest-agent report and the VNICs defined in the engine. If the GA reports a MAC that the engine does not recognize the engine can not associate it with a VNIC. What the engine can do is to issue a warning to the audit log in case such a mismatch is recognized, Is that good enough?
Oops, I've been scooped... The guest may also report devices with unknown MAC (bridge, vlan, dummy, etc...), which is not a reason for alarm. If the configured MAC is completely missing, a warning seems valid.
About MTU - It is not being reported by the guest agent ATM (while IPv4 IPv6 and MAC are), If we'd like to have it I can open RFE for the GA to report additional fields.
