<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I agree with Salvatore and Ian here. The current default behavior seems a little confusing. However, if it’s too late in the cycle to the change the default
behavior, we can probably stick with it for now, and change it in G to return an error if no networks are specified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In my opinion, we should ask ourselves how important it is than in the transition from nova-network to quantum the same behaviour concerning the default nic selection is preserved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this turns out to be important, then Quantum should just keep doing what nova-network does at the moment if no --nic option is specified.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Otherwise, the best option for me is, as Ian suggests, to make the --nic compulsory, and return a 400 is no network is specified at all.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Quite honestly (and inviting contention) - if you're changing the<br>
default 'nothing specified' behaviour from one thing to another, I'd<br>
just go the whole hog and make it an error not to specify any networks<br>
at all. No default is sensible in all circumstances and what you're<br>
describing is really quite complex.<br>
