That's true, but please note that plug is only callled when new instance is created. When host running nova-network service is rebooted and there's no new instances created there's no code which will bring it up. > > * As for your suggestion on using the interface type bridge, that would work > only if plug is called only once in the lifetime of a VM.

One way to achieve this is by using the interface type ethernet (and > that's where the agent comes into play, hence it's required). now it's clear. -- Tomasz Paszkowski SS7, Asterisk, SAN, Datacenter, Cloud Computing +48500166299 -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~netstack Post to : netstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~netstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
