Recognizing Different Virtual Interface Names

[Zachary Smith]

Hi,

It seems that ProxMox specifically wants to see virtual interfaces named something like "vmbr[n]" and does some sort of regex or match on this string. This is causing an issue in our setup as we are using Weave to create and manage the overlay network. It sets the interface name as "weave" and thus is not recognized by ProxMox.

Any suggestions or can this be configurable?

Thanks!

This should be mostly a gui thing. I'm curious though as to how weave would integrate into a regular system. As far as I understand from the docs it's basically like a VPN/vrack thing accessed via the 'weave' bridge. So would it be enough if the gui lets you choose 'weave' as bridge for VM network interfaces? (Outside the gui this should work, so you could test by editing /etc/pve/{qemu|lxc}/$vmid.conf or using qm set / pct set and see if it performs as you exptect?
