nics

Description

Sets the list of network interface cards that a VM will have.

Usually a VM will start with a single nic, named nic1:

nics = nic1

But a VM can have other nics. Some tests (usually network related) add other nics. One obvious example is the bonding test:

# Tests
variants:
    - nic_bonding: install setup image_copy unattended_install.cdrom
        nics += ' nic2 nic3 nic4'
