Hey,

I have read and followed the instructions of the wiki about the configuration of a virtual ethernet network (veth) and it is working perfectly for my first VPS.

I have set an IP-address in my VPS editing the /etc/network/interfaces file, and I can therfore ping the host or some websites.

I just would like to know why the vzlist command does not return the VPS-IP-Address? vzlist returns CTID, NPROC, STATUS (running) HOSTNAME but nothing for IP_ADD.

Then, why the host virtual ethernet device disappears when I reboot the VPS?

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi,

looks like you solved the problem of several Containers with veth. Smile That's good.

vzlist will show you CT IP if you set up this IP with help of vzctl. And if you set it up from inside a CT (like you did) - it won't.

This is because veth is not a single interface, it always consists of 2 parts - 2 ends - one is inside a CT and the other is outside (on the Hardware Node). When you stop the CT, you remove the veth part that is inside a CT, thus the second half (on HN) is also removed.

Hope this helps.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
