Comment 14 for bug 1428062

Hi All,

As part of the API documentation : https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/networking/v2/index.html
it is clearly mentioned that there are no possibility to make any updates to the attributes provider:network_type, provider:physical_network, and provider:segmentation_id as part of the network update request even if the configurations are allowed for modifications
as part of : "providernet.py File" for the network_type=vlan.

Here is the Error we will encounter on modifying the attributes:
Error message:
{
    "NeutronError": {
        "detail": "",
        "message": "Invalid input for operation: Plugin does not support updating provider attributes.",
        "type": "InvalidInput"
    }

So as mentioned in the above discussions there is no current handling / implementation to update the provider network attributes and we certainly think that disabling the Flags in providernet.py will make any difference to disabling the support.

So let us know if we can handle the network updates possible for the segments as part of future releases.
Can we look into the Bug "multiprovidernet updates are ignored" to support this behaviour change?
Or there is any other opinion on the analysis, please correct on the understanding.
