Connection breaks when ETH interface is recreated

Open mbfm opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

A user may, for example, use an USB-ETH adapter for their connection to the ECU. If the user unplugs this adapter after EDGAR has joined it into br-opendut and then re-plugs it, then this join will not be re-created.

EDGAR should either monitor this interface and recreate the interface automatically, or instruct the operating system's network management (e.g. NetworkManager, systemd-networkd, Netplan etc.) to maintain this bridge join persistently.

Workaround: Prefer using onboard ETH interfaces for openDuT for now or check periodically that the system state still matches our expectation.

For now, we plan to do the periodic check.

Current approach: we use always the onboard ETH connection for the connection to a ECU.
