Re: reconfiguring a two vms bridge to two vms + the host with proper iface naming

Greetings,
I have two vms (vm1 and vm2) connected via a bridge named br1.
libvirt creates two taps, tap0 and tap1
I'm trying to rename them to some thing more meaningful for starts.
I assume that I cannot use vnet-vm1 or vnet-vm2 so I decided to configure it like this:
vm1:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br1'/>
<target dev='vnet1'/>
</interface>
vm2:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='br1'/>
<target dev='vnet2'/>
</interface>
but when start the vms, the iface names are still tap1 and tap2. am I doing something
wrong?
I didn't think libvirt created devices with 'tapXXX' naming, all our
generated names should be 'vnetXXX', and we reserve 'vnet' as a prefix
for our own use and will thus discard any such name if the user specifies
it in the XML.
With regards,
Daniel
