As an example of how this might work, in our (EH) API you do

  /resources/vlan/create

to create a VLAN (virtual network) and get its identifier, and then define
your network card as attached to it. For example, for a machine with a
public facing interface with dynamic IP and a VLAN attached interface,

  nic:0:dhcp auto
  nic:1:vlan VLAN-ID

in the guest config.

Cheers,

Chris.
