up to 3.4, nothing else should be done (assuming the network config was
already declared "safe" and survived reboot). ifcfg is the only persistent copy.

In 3.5 we've added a Vdsm-side persistent copy of the network,
which sits under /var/lib/vdsm/netconf/nets. You should edit the json
definitions therein in order to ensure proper network startup after
boot.
