Edit virtual network feature
Pre-requisite:
- Virtual network is stopped
- Virtual network "default" is not editable
Why? Maybe only block renaming for the default network. But the other
fields could be changed IMO.
*** BACKEND ***
### Resource: Network
**URI:** /plugins/kimchi/networks/*:name*
**Methods:**
* **UPDATE**: Update a Network
The method it PUT.
* name: The name of the Network
* subnet: Network segment in slash-separated format with ip
address and prefix
* dhcp: DHCP services on the virtual network is enabled.
* start: start boundary of a pool of addresses to be provided
to DHCP clients.
* end: end boundary of a pool of addresses to be provided to
DHCP clients.
* interfaces: An array of bridge network interfaces that belongs
to this network
All traffic on this network will be bridged through
the first
interface. The interface is a bridge or
ethernet/bonding device.
* vlan ID
Please, specify which parameters can be updated according to network type.
I don't think all them apply to any network type.
Not all attributes are required for all networks types.
Specify that as it is a documentation file.
*** FRONTEND ***
* Add new option Edit to Actions menu under Virtualization/Network
tab, enabled only for stopped networks
* When clicked, this option will open a new window for editing that
virtual network, with the following fields. Based on network type,
some of below fields may be disabled:
Type: just a label describing the network type, not changeable.
Name: all types of virtual network can be renamed
Interfaces: attach/detach interfaces (enabled for VEPA) or change
interface (for macvtap, bridged)
Subnet/DHCP range: two IP fields: start, end (enabled for NAT, isolated)
VLAN id: integer field (enabled for bridged networks)
Can I add a VLAN ID for a bridged network previous created without VLAN
ID? Or can I only change the VLAN ID from an VLAN bridged network?
