Node Network Config Not auto Effective in real time

I recently tested pve and planned to deploy. If you have any questions, please consult:
1. What is the reason why the design node network configuration is not automatically set in real time?
2. What features does the Subscription Plans Complete feature-set contain?

1. What is the reason why the design node network configuration is not automatically set in real time?

The network configuration is not set dynamically on runtime, because the provided tooling (ifupdown) lacks certain features - e.g. it loses the association of the guests' tap-devices with the bridge, resulting in the guests losing network connectivity.
Additionally rebooting after a network configuration change ensures that the changes survive a reboot

PVE additionally provides ifupdown2 (since around 6 months), which is a drop-in replacement for ifupdown, but offers additional functionality - e.g. the `ifreload` utility - which can handle a change of network-configuration live.

2. What features does the Subscription Plans Complete feature-set contain?

PVE is AGPL software, and all features are present in all repositories (no-subscription and enterprise).
The enterprise repository is only available to subscribers and offers better tested software.

hope this helps!
