[Users] How do Networks and Vlan-tagging work in oVirt ?

[Matt .]

Hi guys,

Thanks, this clears it more why we have VM and display options and how it's
used on the nics.

What hapens with me on a 3.2 installation when I want to attach a network
without IP (VM option or not) to a Nic I get the noticed error like I told
before:

Error while executing action Setup Networks: Illegal or Incomplete IP
Address


Here is the error from the log:

Why does this happen on None Bootproto or DHCP ?
