The network interfaces are being refreshed on ovirt-engine side by the
GetCapabilitiesVDSCommand. It is being triggered either by activating a
host, or if the host status is other than: Up, PreparingForMaintenance,
Error or NonOperational.

The easiest way to refresh the new network on ovirt-engine is moving the
host to maintenance and activating it.

We're missing the functionality of refreshing the Host information on
the fly, specifically network entities.

It is also mentioned on the thread which deals on network features:
