Is there a way to apply network configuration without restarting the server?

Hello.

I added a network bridge to the configuration from the UI.
Is there a way to apply the new network configuration without restarting the server. (pvenetcommit ???)

Tx.

Hi,
you can all do directly on the CLI.
brctl and ifconfig are the most important commands for this. But be carefull - if you have an running solution (but different to the gui-entrys) and do an reboot month later, it's perhaps not easy to find an issue if the network-config don't work like expected.

No not with brctl and ifconfig!!!
Edit the /etc/network/interfaces
Then make a networking restart this should work and you config is not lost at the next reboot.

you are sure, that "networking restart" is an good idea on a running node (with running VMs)??

The 2-3 seconds that the network restart are no problem in most environments.
