problems with bridge name




Hi all,

 For some reasons, I have chosen the bridge interface name as 'he' in my previous machine which is running livirt now. I am creating a new machine so that I can do live migrations using libvirt.


 From wheezy I am seeing that in /etc/network/interfaces, using interface name as he causes issues. Any other name works but the command

ip link set dev he up 

fails if the interface name is he. 

???

Has anybody come across this issue ? 

Can somebody tell me if there is anything wrong with what I am doing ?


>>>> /etc/network/interfaces

auto he 

iface he inet static
address 192.29.240.53
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.29.240.1
dns-nameservers 192.29.240.1
dns-search uscablehe.net
pre-up brctl addbr he
pre-up brctl addif he eth0
pre-up ifconfig eth0 0
>>>>

This fails
