11.5. Sub-collections
11.5.1. Network VNIC Profile Sub-Collection
VNIC (Virtual Network Interface Controller) profiles, also referred to as virtual machine interface profiles, are customized profiles applied to users and groups to limit network bandwidth. Each
vnicprofile contains the following elements:
| Element | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name | string | The unique identifier for the profile. |
description | string | A plain text description of the profile. |
network | string | The unique identifier of the logical network to which the profile applies. |
port_mirroring | Boolean: true or false | The default is false. |
Example 11.6. An XML representation of the network's vnicprofile sub-collection
<vnic_profile href= "/ovirt-engine/api/vnicprofiles/f9c2f9f1-3ae2-4100-a9a5-285ebb755c0d" id="f9c2f9f1-3ae2-4100-a9a5-285ebb755c0d"> <name>Peanuts</name> <description>shelled</description> <network href= "/ovirt-engine/api/networks/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000009" id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000009"/> <port_mirroring>false</port_mirroring> </vnic_profile> </vnic_profiles>
11.5.2. Network Labels Sub-Collection
Network labels are plain text, human-readable labels that allow you to automate the association of logical networks with physical host network interfaces. Each
label contains the following elements:
| Element | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
network | string | The href and id of the networks to which the label is attached. |
Example 11.7. An XML representation of the network's labels sub-collection
<labels>
<label href="/ovirt-engine/api/networks/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/labels/eth0" id="eth0">
<network href="/ovirt-engine/api/networks/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"/>
</label>
</labels>
11.5.3. Methods
11.5.3.1. Attach Label to Logical Network Action
You can attach labels to a logical network to automate the association of that logical network with physical host network interfaces to which the same label has been attached.
Example 11.8. Action to attach a label to a logical network
POST /ovirt-engine/api/networks/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/labels/ HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/xml Content-type: application/xml <label id="Label_001" />
11.5.3.2. Removing a Label From a Logical Network
Removal of a label from a logical network requires a
DELETE request.
Example 11.9. Removing a label from a logical network
DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/networks/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/labels/[label_id] HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 204 No Content
