Description Enrico Scholz 2011-02-07 11:53:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

It would be nice when the 'ifAlias' attribute (--> 'ip link set ... alias ...' or directly in '/sys/class/net/*/ifalias') of the created interface can be configured from with the virtual machine description.

This attribute is usually a descriptive name of the interface and e.g. visible by SNMP queries.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt-0.8.1-27.el6
Comment 2 Suzanne Logcher 2011-03-28 20:29:39 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains 
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an 
exception or blocker.  It has been moved to RHEL 6.2 since 
it is a FutureFeature request.

This is probably a netcf RFE? Can't tell if this is in reference to interface objects, or VM tap devices. Either way, bug filer is inactive and no one else is clamoring for this AFAICT, so closing
