[Engine-devel] Network labeling requirements follow up questions

[Malini Rao]

Livnat, 

I had asked a couple of questions about network labeling reqs offline but wanted to continue the discussion on the list. Thank you for the answers and I have copied my questions and your answers for context -

1. Can a network be part of several labels?
Currently not, we are not sure if there is a use case for that ATM, but
I hope users would surprise us with an interesting use case.

2. Can a network exist as a available network in the Setup Host networks dialog on its own even if it is part of a label? i.e, can a network be assigned to a NIC on its own and to another NIC as part of a label?

Network can not be provisioned twice on the same host (regardless of labels).

With regard to your answer to my question 2, I understand that the network cannot be provisioned twice on the same host but it can be provisioned to multiple hosts... right? So, Let's say the Green network is part of a label called label 1 which also includes yellow and red networks, and let's say Host 1 is provisioned using label 1 and so it can use green, yellow and red networks. For Host 2, can I provision with just Green rather than with Label 1? Or can a network be used only once in a label and across hosts?


Thanks
Malini
