sed -i '/^vif/s/B8.*$/C8,vifname=veth216'"'"','"'"'ip=10.1.1.1,mac=00:16:3E:FD:58:BB,vifname=veth216a'"'"']'

As it is dificult to read see this explication:
If you want to use a ' inside replace string such is the case you must:
type ' to close string

type ' to write '
type " to close the concatenated string
type ' to concatenate the next string (following with the replace string)
