"Config reset at disconnect" ?

[HenrikElm]

When enabling this, you are supposed to lose whatever unique settings you set on a port when a VM is moved from that port.

Does this mean that if you don't tick this box, if you move away a VM and the port is free again and another VM happens to get this port, will it inherit the old settings? Probably not what one wants? If I get this right, this box should probably always be ticked, maybe it should even be ticked default?

Yes your understanding is correct. If you have a port that is connected to a vnic and this flag is set, any port level overrides will be lost if the vnic disconnects and the port state will be restored to the default state of the portgroup. If the flag is not set the dvPort settings will be retained and a new vnic connecting to the dvPort will connect to a dvPort with the overridden state. The default is just to play conservative. A port level override is a specialized usecase and has been inititated by a specific user action, implicitly changing the state of the port as part of a disconnect by an entity (a vm) in a different permissions realm may be something that needs some concious decision making. Hence the default is false. Does that make sense?

Ah! Yes, it makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Now, this would all be a truly great cohesive solution/featureset if we could specify what portnumber in a portgroup you connect a vnic to, until then all this seem a bit random and not as good as it could be. Please hurry with the next version and include the ability to (in the GUI) specify what port to connect a vnic to. When this happens, vNetwork will have a really great featureset.
