Subject: Re: Default network namespace name
Hi,
The default, initial network namespace does not have a name. In fact,
according to the kernel implementation, all namespaces (and in
particular, the network namespace) do not have names. The names of the
network namespaces are created and deleted by the userspace "ip netns"
command.
You can move network interfaces to the initial namespace using pid 1,
for example:
ip netns add myns2
ip link set p4p1 netns myns2
#start bash in myns2
ip nents exec myns2 bash
#move p4p1 from myns2 to the default network namespace
ip link set p4p1 netns 1
Regards,
Rami Rosen
