Seems to me each eth or vif you add to a bridge should retain its IP and the bridge, basically being a device that does mac-layer routing, has no IP.Actually, if you think about it, it makes complete sense. I really can't imagine a switch where each port has it's own IP address. The switch itself having an IP address on the other hand is perfectly reasonable, as in the case of a managed switch.I guess this is an artifact of how it is implemented?I think it'd be wierd if it worked any other way, taking the above into account. J Check the linux bridge howto at http://bridge.sourceforge.net/howto.html This site also has pointers to other info. There's really nothing special about the xen-br0 bridge, it's just a normal linux bridge.
