Description Justus Ranvier 2014-01-06 13:25:35 UTC

AFAICS netifrc does not support veth devices.

Syntax for creating them is simple:

ip link add name $endpoint1 type veth peer name $endpoint2

veth devices could be specified in /etc/conf.d/net by adding a veth_ variable that specifies the second endpoint:

config_$endpoint1=dhcp
veth_$endpoint1=$endpoint2

Reproducible: Always
