creating veth devices [message #32780]

Hi People
I'm trying to create a veth device following instructions at
http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device.

I did the following step on HN:
[HN]# ifconfig
...shows eth0,lo and venet0
[HN]# vzctl set 214 --netif_add eth0 --save
Configure veth devices: veth214.0
Saved parameters for VE 214
[HN]# vzctl enter 214
entered into VE 214
[214]# ifconfig
I only see lo,venet0 and venet0:0 devices here. No eth0 is created, so I cannot follow next steps and assign static IP to eth0 in the Guest as shown in the wiki article.

How do I create eth0 in the guest? Do I need to install bride utilities on HN and/or guest.
The HN is running CentOS 5.1 and guest is ubuntu 8.04.

Any advice will be appreciated.
thanks
