Hi,
I want to control the interface index assigned to network
interfaces when they are created in Linux Operating System.
I am using TUN/TAP driver to create virtual network interfaces in
linux from user application. Normally by default Linux by itself
assigns the interface index to the inetrfaces. I can get the inetrface
information by reading the file /proc/net/igmp or ioctl command.
My requirement is that i need to assign some fixed interfaces
index to these interfaces
created in linux. For example:
Interface name Interface Index
=============================
interface-0
10
interface-1 11
etc.
Using ioctl i am not finding information how to change the
interface index. Please let me know how can i assign the fixed
interface index to network interfaces created in linux OR is there any
way to control interface index assignment to network interfaces in
Linux.
Regards,
Anil
