Hi Brent, you are right! This has been removed from centos7[1] pfff I have managed to get this working by copying these two files from CentOS6 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net.hotplug /lib/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules And running udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger https://access.redhat.com/solutions/429653 -----Original Message----- To: libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: virsh attach-interface auto up On 8/8/20 9:42 AM, Marc Roos wrote: > > I am doing a virsh detach-interface and an attach-interface.

The interface being brought up automatically, if I understand your question correctly, depends on the OS of the guest having hotplug support for the NIC you have selected for it. It takes a couple seconds, but I can generally detach and re-attach an interface in CentOS Linux, for instance, with only about a 2-5 second hiccup in network traffic. -- brent saner https://square-r00t.net/ GPG info: https://square-r00t.net/gpg-info
