Description
In some cases you want to perform some special action in a VM or on the frontend / hypervisor based on some property of a network adapter. As far as I know it's currently not possible to add a custom attribute to the "NIC=[]" section. It would make life easy if a custom attribute could be added. Example use case: configure a special source based route for the specific nic if LB=TRUE is configured. Or setup special openflow rules on the vnet if OPENFLOW_SPECIAL=TRUE.

You can actually add any attribute inside the NIC.
Furthermore, you can even configure in oned.conf if any attribute should be restricted to be used only by oneadmin:
http://docs.opennebula.org/4.14/administration/references/oned_conf.html#restricted-attributes-configuration
Or set the attributes in the vnet template, and copy it to the NICs using that vnet:

Can you give it a try to see if your request is already covered?
