Hi, Every time my domU is created, the eth* number increases, from eth0 to eth70 now. This is really awkward, and should not happen in theroy, nevertheless I don''t know why. Can anyone identify the problem here? Thanks in advance, Shawn _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Yeah I feel it is wrong too. My numbers are around 200 now, I hope there isn''t a wall or a bug when it reaches a special value. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

[Xen-users] Re: domu network interface number increases
That because your system assigns random mac to virtual network card every time. You can stop it by providing static mac. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Nope, I force the mac address for each virtual nic. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] Re: domu network interface number increases
Hi Thomas, do you mean the interface number within in the domU or the number of vif in dom0? Please send us also a config of a domU which is affected by this weird behaviour.
