[one-users] OpenNebuka Hosted-VLAN support

[Jaime Melis]

Hello Patrice,

you make very valid points and we're aware of those limitations. They have
actually been reflected on the documentation:
http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel3.0:nm#considerations_limitations

The problem is that the network management is based on the hook subsystem,
but we have realized there should be a specific driver for networking. We
have created a feature ticket to develop this functionality:
http://dev.opennebula.org/issues/863
The target release for this functionality is OpenNebula 3.2.

For the moment, in OpenNebula 3.0, the only solution to the aforementioned
problems is to create a static network configuration.

Regards,
Jaime
