Bug Description
There should be a command line (sub)option to unplug a network cable.
While from the monitor interface I can issue:
set_link virtio-net-pci.0 off
There's no way to fire a VM from command line with that cable already unplugged.
As an example, virtualbox can do it.

this would be really useful for testing resilliance and auto fall-over systems in a vm, to be able to quickly virtually "unplug" a network connection.
