S shodan Active Member Sep 1, 2022 183 56 33 Oct 21, 2024 #2 According to chatgpt, you have to redefine the entire network interface like pct set 1002 -net0 name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,ip=dhcp,link_down=0 Is that the best way to go about it, or is it possible to only toggle "link_down"'s value ?

S shodan Active Member Sep 1, 2022 183 56 33 Oct 22, 2024 #3 So I made this simple shellscript It takes the variable that I have used to create the container and re-uses it with link_down flipped to 0 Code: replace_link_down() { _CT_net_config=${_CT_net_config//link_down=1/link_down=0}; echo "Updated _CT_net_config: $_CT_net_config"; pct set "$CT_ID" $_CT_net_config; } This works, however the changes don't take effect immediately it seems. I presume that rebooting the container will do. Though it is a little annoying that a server would need to reboot just to "plug in the virtual network cable in" !
