Hi!

Is it correct, that veth0 is always 127.0.0.1 because there's always the lo interface which has 127.0.0.1.

VE is Debian 3.1

Is there a way to change this behavior - cause i've a software which uses always the first (v)eth address...

Stefan

Strange. I'm also on Debian and in my VE:

ve31:~# ifconfig

For me it is:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:


and the auto generated /etc/network/interfaces is:

I didn't receive an answer on this topc:

http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=817&start =0&

but it includes my script to remove the venet0:0 and give the venet0 the IP-adres you want. May be it is the solution to your problem?

This is just the default behaviour of "add_ip-script" (/etc/vz/dists/scripts/redhat-add_ip.sh for redhat templates).
You can change it editing the decent file.

P.S.
Actually, this isn't veth device! This is venet device.
There is also veth device in OpenVZ. So I change the subject of your post, don't mind? =)

OK thanks - but why it is like that? I think that's not correct - where's the advantage of this?

With a venet0:0 which also had IP-adress 127.0.0.1 (I just checked with the old script) I didn't have experience any problems, but then again I have not done much experiments with the old script. I changed it alsmost after everything worked, because I didn't like the complexity Smile.

I still would like to know if my way raise any problems later on. Or like you why the standard script does it in the way it does. What is the reasoning...
