VyOS interfaces numeration

[akopylov]

Hello there.
I have VyOS 1.1.7 in my EVE-NG lab (2.0.3-84) ant it seems that it works fine, but there is a problem with interfaces numeration. There are 4 interfaces in VyOS: eth1-eth4 but on EVE-NG map they are named as eth0-eth3 and I can`t see any logic or conformity in the name scheme. E.g. during my first try the scheme was:
vyos eth1 = eve eth1
vyos eth2 = eve eth2
vyos eth3 = eve eth0
vyos eth4 = eve eth3

And during my second try the name scheme was:
vyos eth1 = eve eth0
vyos eth2 = eve eth2
vyos eth3 = eve eth3
vyos eth4 = eve eth1

Any thoughts how to fix it?

I ran into this myself just now, the first device per lab is OK, but if you have multiple you will notice the issue.
I had made the image as per the how to doco.
The solution seems to be,
after you install VYOS onto the HDD and before you commit the image
from vyos, delete the configuration lines that bind the HWID to the interface then save and commit the configuration

Code: Select all

 delete interfaces ethernet eth0 hw-id '50:00:00:01:00:00'
 etc

Now in eve commit the changes to your disk as per the how to doco.
