Depends on how you configured your "interface." The following command should display its details
brctl show vig10 You should also describe how you created your interface... When you configure virtual networks (for your virtual networking) you should not configure and assign physical interfaces for your Guests. You should instead create Linux Bridge Devices as virtual devices which can be assigned to a physical interface. A variety of tools can be used to create Linux Bridge Devices including YAST, libvirt (vm manager), brctl, virsh, even GUI managers from other virtualization technologies like VMware, VBox, etc because once a LBD has been created in any way, the LBD can be used by any Guest using any virtualization, and any number of Guests. And, if you're using LBD the name is irrelevant. If you're configuring a real, physical interface then like practically any other use of a real, physical device the device most likely can be used by only one OS (Guest, Host, whatever).
