Hello, I have a CentOS 6 VM on a CentOS 6 host. This VM has two ethernet interfaces, eth0 and eth1. It was working nice. All of a sudden eth1 stopped working as expected. Kernel started to give the message below: kernel: udev: renamed network interface eth2 to eth2-eth1 There is no any eth2 or eth2-eth1 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. I really don't know where it is coming from. config -a: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:E0:5A:C5 inet addr:10.0.0.32 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:8293 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6440 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:831687 (812.1 KiB) TX bytes:6358220 (6.0 MiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:B6:D1 inet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:934 (934.0 b) TX bytes:462 (462.0 b) eth2-eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:B5:B6:D1 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:37 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3642 (3.5 KiB) TX bytes:3642 (3.5 KiB) And below is /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules: # net device () (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="52:54:00:e0:5a:c5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" # net device () SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="52:54:00:b5:b6:d1", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1" Here is the relevant excerpt from the xml on the host: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:e0:5a:c5'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/> </interface> <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:b5:b6:d1'/> <source bridge='br1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </interface> I really don't understand what is really going on. I would appreciate any help hint. All the best. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
