virsh attach-interface auto up

[Marc Roos]

Hi Brent, you are right! This has been removed from centos7[1] pfff

I have managed to get this working by copying these two files from 
CentOS6

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/net.hotplug
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules 

And running 
udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

By coincidence, I was just playing with this with the python API.

The interface being brought up automatically, if I understand your
question correctly, depends on the OS of the guest having hotplug
support for the NIC you have selected for it.

It takes a couple seconds, but I can generally detach and re-attach an
interface in CentOS Linux, for instance, with only about a 2-5 second
hiccup in network traffic.
