Hello Team,
i want to create a virtual ethernet port on a jetson nano device and provide internet connectivity to it.
I have followed some online documentation for reference, by the following ref i was able to create a virtual port but am unable to provide internet connectivity.
Thanks.

Sorry, not quite sure about what online document you are talking about. We don’t directly support any kind of virtual ethernet.

If you mean using the USB ethernet over host PC, and you want the Jetson to be able to access the internet via that, then on the host PC side you have use the various network settings to tell it to allow forwarding of that interface.

Hi,
i followed https://askubuntu.com/questions/1214876/ubuntu-server-virtual-network-interface-with-internet-access to create virtual ethernet interface on my jetson nano. my physical ethernet is eth0 and i have created virtual ethernet named veth-default , virtual eth interface got the internet when added eth0 ip as gateway now the problem is i can only ping google/any other ip address using ip address only there is no response if i use interface name.
ex : ping -I 192.168.1.xx 8.8.8.8(ping will work fine),
ping -I veth-default 8.8.8.8(ping wont work).

I can’t tell you what to specifically change, but this means you don’t have DNS being forwarded. Some clues might be found with the output of:

  • ifconfig
  • route
  • cat /etc/resolv.conf
