[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] UI changes for Linux bridge/OVS bridge support

Hi team, This is a proposal for UI changes to reflect the new API options for "add network". Network tab -> User clicks on add (+) button Currently, there are 3 options in "Network Type": Isolated, NAT, Bridged (which sets macvtap bridges as of now). The API is changing for Kimchi 2.0: "Bridged" option will now be used for creating networks tied to Linux bridges, while a 4th option "macvtap" will be added for creating networks tied to macvtap bridges. Changes in Bridged option: 1) Change description of "Bridged" option to refer to Linux bridges 2) When "Bridged" is selected, "Destination" will show all the interfaces it currently shows plus OVS bridges 3) "Enable VLAN" is not showed 4) "Bridged" option will call network_create API with "bridge" as value for "connection" parameter New macvtap option: 5) Add a new option "macvtap" to Network Type 6) When macvtap option is selected, "Destination" will show the same that is currently showed for "Bridged" option (no OVS bridges) 7) "Enable VLAN" option is showed 8) macvtap option will call network create API with "macvtap" as "connection" parameter value Please let me know your thoughts.
