+ Reconfiguring Physical Networks in VMs + &PRODUCT; provides you the ability to move VMs between networks and reconfigure a VM's + network. You can remove a VM from a physical network and add to a new physical network. You can + also change the default physical network of a virtual machine. With this functionality, hybrid + or traditional server loads can be accommodated with ease. + This feature is supported on XenServer and KVM hypervisors. +

The virtual router's DHCP reply will set the guest's default gateway as that for the default network. Multiple non-default networks may be added to a guest in addition to the single, required default network. The administrator can control which networks are available as the default network. Additional networks can either be available to all accounts or be assigned to a specific account. Networks that are available to all accounts are zone-wide. Any user with access to the zone can create a VM with access to that network. These zone-wide networks provide little or no isolation between guests.Networks that are assigned to a specific account provide strong isolation. +
