[c-nsp] csr1000v -ports not in order

[Matúš Staudt]

Hi Adam,

the ID seems to be the MAC address.

In our experience, at first boot the VM brings up the interfaces in the
order they are in the XML file. 

After that it remembers the MAC-IFName binding - which can create
"gaps" in your interface name order if you delete a port, then add
another (as it will get a new random MAC from the hypervisor).

Our IF definition looks like this:

<interface type='bridge'>      
 <mac address='52:54:00:4f:a1:ed'/>
 <source bridge='br02'/>      
 <model type='virtio'/>     
 <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>    
</interface>

Even when I shuffle them around, the IFs in the VM are correct after a
reboot.

Hope this helps.
Matus

Anyone run into this problem of vNICs being randomly assigned to
ports on
CSR1Kv please?

Is there anything I can use in the VM's XML definition to help it
nail the
ports down in the correct order?

I'm using KVM/libvirt and no cisco provided scripts, booting from a
qcow2
image.

Thanks
