Unplug virtual NIC

[hotwired007]

is it possible to 'unplug' a virtual NIC so to keep the virtual hardware in place but to disable it?

Hi,
you can do that on the console. Use "brctl show" to see all bridges and then remove the right device - e.g.

brctl delif vmbr0 tap402i0

See "man brctl" for more infos.

another way more easy (for kvm)

use monitor:

set_link net0 on|off
