[Openstack-operators] Adding a Physical Network Interface to an Instance

ok I did this:
nova-manage network create --fixed_range_v4=1.1.1.0/24 --num_networks=1 --network_size=256 --vlan=1 --label=IN-Interface --project=admin --bridge=br-eth4 --bridge_interface=eth4

And it worked! 

this was the output:
2013-05-09 14:09:14 DEBUG nova.utils [req-55460cdf-fe87-4f86-9ffb-237dd8024ea9 None None] backend <module 'nova.db.sqlalchemy.api' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/db/sqlalchemy/api.pyc'> __get_backend /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/utils.py:506

But….It did not add a secondary Interface when I launched my VNC console to the instance through the gui.  It actually replaced the first network with the second network.  Not adding the second interface.

Should I try launching it a different way?


Thanks.
