PCI passthrough

hello, i would like to know if there is another way to  enable passthrough because the actual way is require reboot for the host and in my case its very complex were i have more the 60 VM related to my colleagues and we don't want to impact them after the reboot in case something bad happen

Hi, thanks for your answer, am actually facing a problem to send out my EAPOL request to my 802.1x switch but i was googling the problem it could be solved by enabling passthrough on the PCI (NIC) but am still not sure if that could solve the problem specially i can't even tested because i need a reboot,

could you please take a look for this link and tell me if there is another solution ?:
