netdev_add kills wanpipe ?? [message #38220]

Hello,

I am trying to use a Sangoma A104D E1 port in a container giving the container exclusive access to the port. However when doing
vzctl set 220 --netdev_add w1g1 --save
vzctl set 220 --netdev_add w1g2 --save
the device is killed.

Before adding them with netdev the devices look as following:

w1g1 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
UP POINTOPOINT NOARP MTU:4112 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:100
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:18 Memory:f8f20000-f8f21fff

w1g2 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
UP POINTOPOINT NOARP MTU:1216 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:100
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:18 Memory:f8f20000-f8f21fff

The Sangoma API uses raw sockets. So I suppose this should work in OpenVZ similar to TUN/TAP devices. But I cant figure out how to do it.

Just to see whether it helps I added capabilities to the container
CAPABILITY="NET_ADMIN:on NET_RAW:on SYS_MODULE:on SYS_RAWIO:on "
unfortunately it doesnt.

Anyone any hints ?

I can give openvz developers access to the machine in case someone needs this.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

could you please specify what the phrase "the device is killed" means?
Was the device actually moved into the container?

"Killed" means: Before adding it to the container it is visible with ifconfig as a network interface and after adding it is is gone.

As far as I can see the task I envisaged is not possible because the device is accessed on the API level to the driver.

Of course I would love to be wrong on this.

Hello,

sorry for delay

But this is exactly what netdev_dev is intended to do.
(man vzctl).

It is possible to create two types of network devices inside VE: venet and veth. The latter is created with help of "--netif_add" option. Moving network devices is also possible with help of "-netdev_add" option. Moving network device means moving it from the HN to VE.
