Network creation on the pool using xo-cli

Pix

Hi,
I've got a bond0 connected to a switch which exposes a LOTs of VLANs in trunk mode, so i need to create the associated networks/vlan in XO to connect my VMs directly to the VLANs.
Unfortunately i'm stuck and i can't find the correct parameters to give to network.create:

The pif i'm giving as a parameter is the bond0 listed in the network part of XO, obviously i'm doing it wrong, but what ? :))

xo@xo-ce:~$ xo-cli network.create pool=5ecb81a5-8ea7-d88a-3d8d-76bec7a83a03 name="VLAN20 - Builders" pif=85fcc01b-f13d-a6f9-2ad4-d3ee99ce12ef vlan=json:20

@Pix FYI, I was just doing some testing on this exact function and I was able to add a network to the pool when using the UUID for the host's matching PIF. The UUID you were using is from the pool's network, which won't work here. For example --
