After upgrading my hosts from 4.2.7.1 to 4.2.8 the external networks stopped working! When im starting a VM using external network it does not boot up at all!!!!! The error message is: "VM is down with error. Exit message: unsupported configuration: filterref is not supported for network interfaces with virtualport type openvswitch"

I rolled it back to 4.2.7.1 for 1 of my hosts just as a test and the VMs on that host can now bootup using external networks as they are supposed to!! Please advice as i would like to use the upgrade!!!

Thank you for your reply :). I don't think is the network filters, i have also created a new OVN network to check but still the vm dont boot-up on the hosts that have been upgraded.

Thank you for your help. You were right, it the filtering issue thats causing the failed start.

Even newly created networks under 7.2.8 still have the network filter by default.
