hello,

I'm new to openvz, I have installed this fresh 7.0 release from iso on a hardware host and while setting up networking I discovered that some docs are outdated.

https://wiki.openvz.org/Using_private_IPs_for_Hardware_Nodes
this works unless you try to persist settings. instructions rely on vznetcfg and its supplementary files which seem to be gone and unsupported in 7.0. I have discovered that all bridge-related settings should be instead applied with prlctl since set --netif_add now accepts --ipadd and related settings documented at https://docs.openvz.org/openvz_command_line_reference.webhel p/_network_options.html

I think the same applies to https://openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device#Making_a_veth-dev ice_persistent - you should change the docs or clarify which openvz versions those advices apply to

The command line reference page https://docs.openvz.org/openvz_command_line_reference.webhel p/_network_options.html itself contains an error (or is this a prlctl bug??). Adding --host_ifname to command line triggers error Unrecognized option: --host_ifname - is there a mistype is option name maybe? Didn't figure this out yet
