A.3. Explanation of Settings in the New Network Interface and Edit Network Interface Windows
These settings apply when you are adding or editing a virtual machine network interface. If you have more than one network interface attached to a virtual machine, you can put the virtual machine on more than one logical network.
Table A.21. Network Interface Settings
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the network interface. This text field has a 21-character limit and must be a unique name with any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. |
Profile | The vNIC profile and logical network that the network interface is placed on. By default, all network interfaces are put on the ovirtmgmt management network. |
Type | The virtual interface the network interface presents to virtual machines.
|
Custom MAC address | Choose this option to set a custom MAC address. The Red Hat Virtualization Manager automatically generates a MAC address that is unique to the environment to identify the network interface. Having two devices with the same MAC address online in the same network causes networking conflicts. |
Link State | Whether or not the network interface is connected to the logical network.
|
Card Status | Whether or not the network interface is defined on the virtual machine.
