Possible, but not easy. You can name domU interfaces so they have
persistent naming. Once you have that, snmp should work.

One gotcha is that you probably need to restart snmpd after domU
startup/shutdown.

Hi Fajar,

This is how I have it currently. Each domU's interface name is "hard coded" in it's config file, as follows:

vif = ['ip=1.2.3.4, vifname=vifrudi0, mac=aa:00:bf:5b:79:01 ']

But the problem I have is that snmp doesn't always work as expected, and I'm thinking of a different approach, perhaps with iptables?
