I think this is a mis-understanding of the way the iface-XXX commands work. This will only report on interfaces which have a defined configuration written out. virbr0 is a transient interface managed by libvirt & no ifcfg-virbr0 file, so will never be shown in the iface-list output. My guess is that you are using NetworkManager to configure eth0 which would explain why its not showing. If you are using NM, then selecting the box 'Available to all users' for the eth0 interface should write out the ifcfg-eth0 file which would make it appear in libvirt's iface-list I see. So is it OK no eth0 showing when I use a bridged network 'br0' which shows in the iface-list output? I'm not using NM this time. Yes, unless there is a eth0 config in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, it is not expected to show up in iface-list, as explained in Comment #1. Closing. |
Description of problem: I use testday-20100408 image to test "Shared Network Interface List Interfaces"(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Shared_Network_Interface_List_Interfaces), and the result of iface-list isn't consistent with ifconfig. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * kernel-2.6.33.1-19.fc13 * libvirt-0.7.7-1.fc13 * python-virtinst-0.500.2-3.fc13 * qemu-0.12.3-6.fc13 * seabios-0.5.1-1.fc13 * virt-manager-0.8.3-2.fc13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from test livecd. 2. Install @virtualization and qemu 3. Run "virsh iface-list" Actual results: [root@localhost ~]# virsh iface-list Name State MAC Address -------------------------------------------- lo active 00:00:00:00:00:00 [root@localhost ~]# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:AE:A2:6C:74 inet addr:10.66.65.190 Bcast:10.66.65.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 inet6 addr: fe80::223:aeff:fea2:6c74/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:117065 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:73719 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:134301041 (128.0 MiB) TX bytes:5212747 (4.9 MiB) Memory:febe0000-fec00000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1200 (1.1 KiB) TX bytes:1200 (1.1 KiB) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 16:59:62:6B:BC:4C inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:36 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:8889 (8.6 KiB) Expected results: eth0 and virbr0 should be detected.
