1. yes, too many issues on this one, hinting we should provide better
text explaining this in the UI.
2. the bug you referenced[1]
Bug 1049476 - [RFE] Mix untagged and tagged Logical Networks on the same NIC
is actually supported, as long as the untagged logical network is not a
VM network (so VMs associated with it would not be able to see/create
other logical networks traffic).
3. considering how prevalent this is, maybe we should allow doing this,
even for VM networks, with a big red warning, rather than block it,
which seems to be failing everyone.
Besides that it's technically not possible in the way we currently use the Linux
Bridge [1],
I'm not sure what's to gain from representing a single "flat" network
with multiple representations.
Seems to me like there may be a couple different points here:
* ovirtmgmt is VM network by default - should be configurable on setup and/or DC
creation.
If it's such a prevalent issue, we should consider a default of non VM network
(users can create a flat network and use it quite easily anyway, if they want).
* if people want to represent different L3 networks on the same L2 network, it is
worthwhile to design a proper solution
Either way, I wouldn't push for allowing multiple bridged networks on the same
physical interface (or bond).
[1] and also not allowed in OpenStack Neutron IIUC.
cc-ing some more folks for their thoughts.
[1] in the future, please use number-name formatso not everyone would
have to open it to understand
