Hi, I have a setup in which VMs are connected with macvtap to the network. The macvtap interfaces are attached to a physical NIC.
There is a question if it is possible to hot-unplug - hot-plug the physical NIC and retain the VMs connectivity to the network (of course with some hiccup for the unplug-plug time). As far as I could tell from the macvtap/macvlan code, once lowerdev is gone there is nothing that can be done to reattach macvlan/macvtap to another lowerdev. My question is there something fundamental that prevents it? -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
