# Network Wiring

### Summary

*   Enable changing the network of a running vm
*   Enable disconnecting a network on a vm without unplugging the vnic

### Owner

*   Name: [ <NAME>](User:alkaplan)
*   Email: <<EMAIL>>

### Current status

*   On Design
*   Last update date: 04/11/2012

### Detailed Description

#### Terminology

*   A vnic on a running VM can have 4 states (If the VM is down, its state represent its behavoiur when he"ll get up)

    Plugged, Connected- The Vnic is defined on the VM and connected to the Network.

    Plugged. Disconnected- The Vnic is defined on the VM and isn't connected to any network.

    Unpluged, Connected- The Vnic is not defined on the VM. When the Vnic will be plugged it will be automatically connected to the Network.

    Unplugged, Disconnected- The Vnic is not defined on the VM. When the Vnic will be plugged it won't be connected to any network.

#### GUI

#### Virtual Machines -> Network Interfaces sub tab

*   **Columns**

    * Plugged- should be added after Name.

    * Connected- should be added after Network Name.

    * Status (icon)- Green if plugged and connected.

*   **Actions**

    * Activate/Deactivate-

        * Remove these actions from the subtab (The user will be able to control the Vnic's state through the add/edit Vnic dialogs)

    * Add

        * There would be an "on/off" switch next to the network combo. The switch will present if the network is connected or not. (TODO- add print screen)

        * "Activate" checkbox will be changed to a switch with to options "Plug/Unplug".

    * Edit

        * Enable also if the vm status is up.

        * If the vm status is up, "type" combo should be disabled.

        * There would be an "on/off" switch next to the network combo.

        * Add "Plug/Unplug" switch to the dialog (same as in Add dialog).
