The idea was to find out whether the association actually worked and if not either fail the start of the VM or not hotplug the interface. If we don't do that the user may end up having a VM that has no connectivity (depending on how the switch handles an un-associated VM) and start debugging all kinds of things... Really, I would like to know if something went wrong. How long would we have to wait for the status to change? How does a switch handle traffic from a VM if the association failed? At least for 802.1Qbg we were going to get failure notification. Stefan -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
