Fireedge: Clarify that "only private host networking" option is also valid for system managed bridges #7222
Description
Description
Currently fireedge asks for a physical device unless the following option is enabled
Use only private host networking
The pop-up text that appears is the following one
If enabled, the Virtual Network will not connect to any physical device and hence the Virtual Machines will be able to communicate only with other Virtual Machines in the same virtual network and in the same host.
If the user has a system managed bridge and OpenNebula does not need to define it over a physical device (i.e. defined on netplan, it may be a tunnel as well), it is not clear that the option must be enabled
Use case
Some examples:
- using OVS with bonding, the bridge must be system defined
- even if OpenNebula does not support it, any tunnel that is not managed by OpenNebula (GRE, geneve) should be prone to be used
Interface Changes
It would be OK to change the radio button text to reflect that behaviour, using maybe some message like this one
Use private host networking or a user-defined bridge
Also, the pop-up should reflect it
If enabled, OpenNebula won't assign any physical interface to the bridge. If the bridge is OpenNebula managed, by default it will only allow local host communication.
Additional Context
As commented, this is useful for OVS advanced options and for custom tunnel solutions.
