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
