Simon Waterhouse commented on CLOUDSTACK-645:
---------------------------------------------

This is a great feature; I would like to suggest taking a step further and 
promote NIC to be a first class object in CloudStack - so one can 
create/destroy NIC and attach/detach from a VM. I have a use case where I want 
to reset a VM (clean instantiation from template) but preserve network identity 
which I could do by explicitly managing the NIC.
                
> add/remove network on VM

> We would like the ability to move VMs between networks and/or reconfigure a 
> VM's network, in order to accomodate hybrid/traditional server loads. We've 
> implemented 3 API calls and would like to submit these for the community to 
> edit/adjust/approve. The three calls are 
> 'addNicToVirtualMachine','removeNicFromVirtualMachine', and 
> 'updateDefaultNicForVirtualMachine'. One provides a VM Id and a network id, 
> default Nics cannot be removed. The names might need adjustment to better fit 
> the API, perhaps 'attachNetworkToVirtualMachine', etc.  Looking for feedback, 
> advice, potential pitfalls... does a feature branch need to be created or 
> just a review?
