When interfaces is added or removed on fly while VOS running on VM, it needs to be rebooted. Otherwise, you will see following error in versa-service.log with continuous vsmd core dumpes:
Deserializing the interface list from /run/vinterfaces
Adding interface eth0
Adding interface eth1
Adding interface eth2
Adding interface eth3
Adding interface eth4

VOS does not supports adding or deleting interfaces on fly while it is hosted on VM. After adding/deleting interface, reboot the VM.
