I name my tap devices (using ifname=...) as follows: tap.br0.05.1 where tap -- this is a tap device br0 -- the name of the bridge 05 -- the ID of the VM (each of my VM's has a unique numeric ID) 1 -- The NIC # on the VM (1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on # of NIC's) Then on my scripts I can extract the bridge name and use it. This also has the advantage of helping me know just by the name what bridge this devices is hooked up to, what VM it belongs to, and which NIC it is inside the VM. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
